Worldliness

Worldliness is an internal disease of the heart. It has three dominant characteristics.

1. Lust for physical pleasure - preoccupation with gratifying physical desires with food, sex, alcohol, massages, entertainment, etc.
2. Lust for what we see - accumulating things.
3. Pride in our possessions - obsession with one's importance.

Unfortunately, the Bible warns us about our lust and our pride.

When Satan tempted Eve (Genesis 3:6) and when he tempted Jesus (Matthew 4:1-11), these were the three areas of attack. Can we expect that Satan has changed his strategy since the days of Eve or Jesus?
