 1 John 2, 15 and 16 tells us, Do not love the world, 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 it is from the world. Simply put, the world is whatever cools your affection for Christ. Here is a word to the wise. Keep fanning the flames of devotion to Christ through the word and prayer, and abandon anything that does not keep that fire blazing.
