1 John 2:15 - 17

1 Corinthians 8:1 - 18

Genesis 3:1 - 10
Worldliness is what makes one look normal in any age and righteousness look odd.

Gr. Cosmos
The World. Cosmetics
Bringing into order.
The World
An organised system of human civilisation and human activity which is opposed to God.

Ephesians 2:1, 2

The rejection of Godly values.

Matthew 6:24

An organised system of evil.

It starts in the mind.
Genesis 3
Insinuating questions.
Questioning the word of God.
Gen 3:5

The world is deceptive. It makes promises it never keeps.

Many things that look like freedom are actually snares.

# 2
It was attractive.

Worldliness begins in the heart.
The Cravings in sinful men.
Preoccupations with desire.
Desires are right in the proper places.

'But the appetite becomes a tiger. when our God's laws are flouted it begins to maul us...'

'The lust of the ages, craving and accumulating things, bowing to the god of materialism, boasting of what he has and done, obessive with our status or importance.

We shouldn't boat about what gifts God has given us.

vs 17

Where are we investing? In this world? Or in treasures stored up in Heaven?
