Practically everything that goes on in the world --wanting your own way, wanting everything for yourself, wanting to appear important---has nothing to do with the Father. It just isolates you from him. The world and all it's wanting, wanting, wanting is on the way out--but whoever does what God wants is set for eternity.
1 John 2: Seventeen
We live in the world, but we must not worship it. Our duty is to place God first and everything else second. But because we are fallible beings with imperfect faith, placing God in His rightful place is often difficult. In fact, at every turn, or so it seems, we are tempted to do otherwise.
The 21st Century world is noisy, distracting place filled with countless opportunities to stray from God's will. The world seems to cry, "Worship me with your time, your money, your energy, and your thoughts!" But God commands otherwise: He commands us to worship Him and Him alone; everything else must be secondary.
