This month on Drops of Thought, we are giving away a copy of the book, "Worldliness," which is a compilation of sorts edited by CJ Mahaney. This is a great book and one that we are excited to give away to one fortunate reader. The rules are simple: Just comment on this blog how you define "worldliness" from Scripture, and our "Drops" panel will simply vote for their favorite. Feel free to include examples of your definition, and if so lead, ways to combat the particular brand of worldliness from a Scriptural perspective (in an attempt to edify as well).
This resource uncovers the presence of worldliness and helps believers learn to relate to the world while resisting its influence in their lives.
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: Resisting the Seduction of a Fallen World uncovers the presence of worldliness—the cravings of sinful man, the lust of his eyes, and the boasting of what he has or does. Worldliness 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.
