1 John 2:15-17

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.  For all that is in the world-the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life-is not of the Father but is of the world.  And the world is passing away, and the lust of it; but he who does the will of God abides forever.    

We live in this world, but we don’t have to participate in its behaviors.  The way of God leads to peace, satisfaction, and purpose.  We are designed by God to have a purpose and fulfill it on this earth.  This world won’t last, “but he who does the will of God abides forever.”  Our love for God and His way will radiate through our lives as we walk closely with Him.
