The Pastor's Pen
NOT to be
02-16-2025 | Rev. Matthew R. Paratore, S.T.L., J.C.L.,PastorDear Friend,
The Bible defines worldliness by centering morality where we intuitively know it should be. Worldliness is the lust of the flesh (a passion for sensual satisfaction), the lust of the eyes (an inordinate desire for the finer things of life), and the pride of life (self-satisfaction in who we are, what we have, and what we have done). Worldliness, then, is a preoccupation with ease and affluence.
