Do Not Love the World

15 1Do not love the world or the things in the world. 2If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him.
16 For all that is in the world— 3the desires of the flesh and 4the desires of the eyes and pride of life[a]—is not from the Father but is from the world.
17 And 5the world is passing away along with its desires, but whoever does the will of God abides forever.

Who do You Love? Part 2
Who do You Love? Part 2
John Randall

Who do you love, and how do you live, a couple of key questions we’ll explore today on a Daily Walk as we continue through First John. This would be a good time to look in the mirror and examine our affections to see if they need to be realigned with God’s will! The fact of the matter is there are a good number of people in love with the world, or the things of this world, and that will all pass away one day. But those who do the will of God will live forever.

Forbidden Love - Part 2
Forbidden Love - Part 2
Dr. Jeff Schreve

As Christians we cannot succumb to the fallen world system that opposes God at every turn. Romans chapter 12, verse 2 says, “Do not be conformed to this world…” How can we possibly safeguard our hearts from the temptations all around us? In this eye-opening message from Pastor Jeff Schreve you’ll discover what the world is, what the world does, and how the world can be overcome. It’s called, FORBIDDEN LOVE and it’s from the series, THIS IS WAR!.
