It's not the ship in the water, but the water in the ship that sinks it. So it's
not the Christian in the world, but the world in the Christian that constitutes
the danger.--J. Wilbur Chapman
Too many Christians sit night after night filling their eyes, minds, and hearts
with the very sin that Jesus had to die for in order to forgive them for watching. Spiritual coldness, complacency, and compromise have dulled our conscious to the point that sin is not only acceptable, but entertaining. For those who hunger for holiness, however, it cannot be.--Chip Kirk
Do not love the world or the things of the world. If anyone loves the world,
the love of the Father is not in him. For all that is in the world, the lust of the
flesh and the lust of the eyes and the boastful pride of life is not from the Father, but is from the world. The world is passing away, and also its lusts; but the one who does the will of God lives forever.--I John 2:15-17
