WORLD

If God is not our joy, we develop an insatiable desire for the "good things,"  frantically and foolishly searching for them in this world. -- pgs.

Do not love the world or anything in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For everything in the world -- the cravings of sinful man, the lust of his eyes and the boasting of what he has and does -- comes not from the Father but from the world. The world and its desires pass away, but the man who does the will of God lives forever (I John 2:15-17).
