Visit me on Facebook under AuntCynthia Whitaker. 😊 💥 Join me today on the podcast (link below) as I exhort: The dictionary definition of “worldly” is: “relating to, or devoted to, the temporal world.” Worldliness, then, is the condition of being concerned with worldly affairs, especially to the neglect of spiritual things. The Bible has a great deal to say about worldliness, none of it good! Paul equates worldliness with spiritual immaturity in 1 Corinthians 3:1-3, where he addresses the believers in the church of Corinth in regard to their worldly behavior. Likewise today, our nation is full of compromising "believers." They lie, they cheat, they deny the truth and authority of Jesus' teachings, they are full of greed, and they live like the unredeemed. Scripture draws a clear distinction between friendship with God and friendship with the "world." James 4:4 tells us that “friendship with the world is hatred toward God.” He goes on to say that “anyone who chooses to be a friend of the world becomes an enemy of God.” 💥 Those who choose worldliness, choose to live in the enemy’s camp because all that is of the world is under the control of Satan!!💥 The choice is clear. To avoid worldliness, we must mature in the faith, growing up in all things in Christ so that we are no longer spiritual infants, tossed about by the lies of the "world," who's under the control and influence of our enemy - the devil! For otherwise, like Christ declares emphatically: "I tell you, no; but unless you repent [change your old way of thinking, turn from your sinful ways and live changed lives], you will all likewise perish" (Luke 13:5). Amen! 🎯 REPENT and BELIEVE and TURN back to God! --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/repentandbelieve/message
