Worldliness: Resisting the Seduction of a Fallen World

Product Description

Life in this fallen world can draw our hearts far from God and from growth in godliness. Worldliness : Resisting the Seduction of a Fallen World equips you to search your heart for the presence of worldliness and gives practical help for resisting the world's influence in the areas of media, modesty, music, and material possessions.

People today are saturated in technology and prosperity. They are bombarded with endless luxuries: clothes to wear, cars to buy, vacations to take, entertainment to enjoy. Yet this world, which offers so many pleasures, is actively opposed to God and the truth of His Word. How, then, is the believer to relate to the world in which he or she lives?

Worldliness uncovers the presence of worldliness in our lives—the cravings of sinful man, the lust of his eyes, and the boasting of what he has or does. It then reveals how Christians are to engage a fallen world and boldly preach the gospel, yet not be conformed and ultimately seduced by the system of this world.

As readers learn to identify the presence of worldliness in the areas of media, modesty, music, and material possessions, they can begin to resist its influence in their lives and instead pursue eternal godliness.
