Prosperity knits a man to the world. He feels that is “finding his place in it,” while really it is finding its place in him.

Not filled with the world – DL Moody
Christians should live in the world but not be filled with it. A ship lives in the water, but if the water gets in the ship, she goes to the bottom. So Christians may live in the world, but if the world gets into them, they sink.
– DL Moody –
Becoming what you look at – AW Tozer

The world and church can’t jog together – Catherine Booth
When the Church and the world can jog comfortably together, you may be sure there is something wrong. The world has not altered. Its spirit is exactly the same as it ever was, and if Christians were equally faithful and devoted to the Lord, and separated from the world, living so that their lives were a reproof to all ungodliness, the world would hate them as much as it ever did.
