Love God, Not the World
The world we live in certainly has created a frenzy of convenience - everything from technology, fast food, online grocery shopping, social media, instant news coverage, thanks to the COVID pandemic, it's pretty easy to even get our Sunday church services online. I don't think that any of us would argue that some of the modern conveniences of this world sure has made things easier for us here in 2025.
However, I for one believe that this world has created a slippery slope for us broken humans that started way back in the garden with Adam and Eve. There is a battle that has been raging since the beginning of time for our love - will we love the things of this world, or will we love the Father?
C.H. Spurgeon once famously stated:
"If I had a brother who had been murdered, what would you think of me if I .... daily consorted with the assassin who drove the dagger into my brother's heart; surely I too must be an accomplice in the crime. Sin murdered Christ; will you bea friend to it? Sin pierced the heart of the Incarnate God; can you love it?
Join us this Sunday as we dig deep into a familiar passage for many found in 1 John 2:15-17. I look forward to our time of worship together.
Grateful,
Pastor Brandon
