Nowadays, many Christians have fallen into the trap of wordliness. The enemy is using the love of the world to hinder unbelievers from receiving the grace of God that brings salvation distract them and lead some to apostasy. In Colossians 3:2 (our Memory Verse for today), the Bible admonishes us to set our affection on things above (spiritual, enduring and eternally rewarding) and not on things on earth (worldly, mundane and temporal). It is also disheartening that many believers do not heed this great piece of advice.

Why did God say you should not love the world and the things that are in the world? The reason is that the world and the things in them (the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes and the pride of life) are diametrically opposed to the will of God. You cannot love the world and love the father at the same time. In fact, the love of the world will take away the love of God from you. The more you love the Father and draw closer to Him, the more you can do His will and the more the love of the world dies in you.

You need to know how people exhibit worldliness so that you avoid the booby trap yourself. The Bible asks, "What shall it profit a man who gains the whole world and loses his soul?" Many people have lost their souls in exchange for worldly riches, wealth, fame, political offices and even positions in the corporate world and their places of worship. Those who seek to gain the whole world and get enmeshed in the rat race end up in the cage or trap of worldliness. The Bible, in Luke 21:34 shows the second way people exhibit worldliness. It says, "And take heed to yourselves, lest at any time your hearts be overcharged with surfeiting, and drunkenness, and cares of this life, and so that day come upon you unawares." Those who are caught in the trap of worldliness are filled with pleasure-seeking, excessive love of food, alcoholism and drunkenness, unbridled appetite and so on.

Beloved, it is important to remind you that when you love the world, you pitch yourself against the Lord, your maker. 

Love not the world!
