The World

Not filled with the world – DL Moody

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.

If I look at the world, I will conform to the ways of the world. If I look at the Word, I will conform to the will of God.

The world and church can’t jog together – Catherine Booth

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.

“The form of this world is passing away”
1 Corinthians 7:31

Brethren, if you are ever so deeply taken up with any enjoyment that it takes away your love for prayer or for your Bible, or that it would frighten you to hear the cry, “The bridegroom comes” and you’d reply, “Has He come already?” then you are abusing this world.

Unholy Church – Charles Spurgeon

Unholy Church – Charles Spurgeon

An unholy church! it is useless to the world, and of no esteem among men. It is an abomination, hell’s laughter, heaven’s abhorrence. The worst evils which have ever come upon the world have been brought upon her by an unholy church.
