The Battle of the American Christian

1 John 2

 ¹⁵ Do not love the world or the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. ¹⁶For all that is in the world— the desires of the flesh and the desires of the eyes and pride in possessions—is not from the Father but is from the world. ¹⁷And the world is passing away along with its desires, but whoever does the will of God abides forever.

Don’t sugarcoat your feelings. Don’t say one thing and live another. Honestly evaluate your life. What do you love? If you love God, you simply don’t love other things. What is most precious? What is your treasure? Does my life show this?
