Doesn’t really matter which country you insert there, the dream is normally pretty much the same: buy a house. But why? Is there someone in scripture that says “Christians should have a house to call their own with a nice door mat”? You might say to me “ah yes, but with a house we can provide hospitality” and I will say to you that you don’t need t...
The Bible has nothing good to say about debt. Nothing. So why is it, that as part of our house acquisition (see above) we develop this amazing comfort with taking on hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of dollars worth of debt?

Where our heart is, there shall our treasure lie. I’m not pretending that these simple five points are an exhaustive list of areas in which Christians struggle to shed a worldly mindset. What I’m trying to do is to encourage some introspection – what of the world’s message have you embraced that needs to be re-moulded into a gospel affection? Are y...

Understanding Worldly Desires. The world system is one of our three spiritual enemies. Like the flesh and Satan it is set on turning our hearts from God. The world’s approach is different from the flesh and Satan. Today we are looking at worldly desires. “ Food court ” is a fairly recent term that’s become part of American vocabulary.
Mar 3, 2021 · James tells them they have these worldly lusts, desires but they cannot (completely) satisfy them. In part, this is because sinful desires can never make a person satisfied. This is the great lie of the devil, sin against God, do what “you” want, and you will be happy.
6 days ago · It serves as a reminder that worldly desires are temporary and will ultimately fade away, while a life dedicated to following God has lasting significance. James 4:4. “You adulterous people, don’t you know that friendship with the world means enmity against God? Therefore, anyone who chooses to be a friend of the world becomes an enemy of God.”
