"lf any man love the world, the love of the Father is
not in him." 1 John 2:15
Today the world comes and searches us out. There is a
force abroad now which is captivating men. Did you ever feel the power of the
world as you do today? Did you ever hear so much talk about money? Did you ever
think so much about food and clothing?
Wherever you go, even among Christians, the things of the
world are the topic of conversation. The world has advanced to the very door of
the Church and is seeking to draw God’s people into its grasp. Never in this sphere
of things have we so urgently needed to know the power of the cross to deliver
us as we do at this present time.
Jesus spoke reassuringly to his disciples about this. He
also prayed for them: "These are in the world, and I come to thee. Holy
Father, keep them in thy name." Ultimately when we touch the things of the
world, the only question we need ask ourselves is, "How is this thing affecting
my relationship with the Father?"
