Worldly I opened the in-flight magazine and there is was: an advertisement with the heading, BECOME WORLDLY I realize that this was simply an appeal by an international travel company encouraging people to globe-trot and spend their money seeing the sights and experiencing what the world has to offer. However, it made me think of the exhortation given to Titus by the Apostle Paul: “For the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to all men, Teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly, in this present world” (Titus 2:11-12). When we have a real appreciation of the grace of God, it will keep us from becoming worldly Christians. This doesn’t mean that we shouldn’t enjoy God’s creation, or that we should despise and abuse what He has entrusted to us in a natural way. But we are told to keep ourselves “unspotted from the world” (James 1:27). And we need to remember, “The world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever” (1 John 2:17).
