Profiting From the Word Chapter 7: The Scriptures and the World

Christians are in a unique and challenging position in a world cursed by sin.
"Do you not know that friendship with the world is enmity with God?" (James 4:4)
Do we value the same worthless things that the unsaved hold dear?
We who were once in bondage, unable to free ourselves, have been "delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God" (Romans 8:21).
Are layers of love for the world being peeled away from your soul?
Are you walking in conformity to the sinful world?
We must love what God loves - and hate what God hates.
Is it possible for a Christian to be too heavenly minded, and thus no earthly good?
