I John 2:15 ” Do not love the world or the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him.”

A.W. Tozer once said, “The weakness of many modern Christians is that they feel too much at home in the world.” We want our cake and eat it too, but the Word makes it very clear that we can’t have it both ways. The Apostle Paul admonished the Church in Corinth for their weak-willed walk when he said, “Brothers, I could not address you as spiritual but as worldly…” (I Corinthians 3:1) Only calling them “spiritual” in the most fundamental sense, since their conduct was far from consistent with having the indwelling Holy Spirit. Anytime we’re too comfortable with the world’s standard of rebellion, pride, and seeking to displace God off His Throne, we need to take serious stock whether we’re walking according to the flesh or the Spirit.
