More Worldliness quotes...
"Yes, resisting
worldliness requires strenuous effort. It's an inside problem and hard
heart-work will be needed to effectively cut it out. And it's a lifelong
battle. We must resist its influence until our dying breath." (pg 33)
"Do you want
the world to lose its appeal? Then crowd out worldliness by filling your
affections with the cross of Christ. Crucify the world as a dead and
undesirable thing by meditating on the love of the Savior. Resist the bait of
the world by gazing at the wondrous cross. For it is 'the cross of our Lord
Jesus Christ,' wrote Paul, 'by which the world has been crucified to me, and I
to the world' (Gal. 6:14)." (pg 34)
