Love Not The World, T.D Jakes is of the devil wake up people.

James 4:4 Ye adulterers and adulteresses, know ye not that the friendship of the world is enmity with God? whosoever therefore will be a friend of the world is the enemy of God..

1 John 2:15 Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him.

16 For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world.

17 And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever.

There are a few Scriptures in the Word of God that come to mind for me more than others. 1st John 2:15-17 is one such passage of Scripture. When I see what the sinful world has to offer, I am often reminded of the Words... "Love not the world..." Tragically, most people love the world. They love the sin. They love the nightclubs. They love the pornography. They love the booze.

They love those who mock and curse God. They love gambling. They love worldly movies the entertainment. They love worldly music. They love worldly TV shows. They love worldly singers and actors. They love anything that is unholy and against God. They may claim to love God, but John 14:15 teaches they do not.

What is the World?

What does the Bible mean by the term "world?" The world is that mass of humanity which has alienated itself from God and is therefore hostile to the cause of Christ. The world lives for frivolous and meaningless things. So many people's minds are consumed with their automobile, or their new barbeque. Others live for fishing, or the latest fashion from France (usually some cheap looking garbage).

It is tragic that the Word of God means so little to so many people. Do you not understand that the same God Who spoke the universe into existence also Authored the Bible? Yet people spit on the Word of God by completely ignoring It. The world lives for it's belly..."Whose end is destruction, whose God is their belly, and whose glory is in their shame, who mind earthly things" (Philippians 3:19). This describes the average person today, living for number one (self).

The world is Elton John and his music. The world is Rod Stewart. The world is Jennifer Lopez and Britney Spears. The world is TobyMac and Amy Grant. The world is Budweiser and Miller. The world is Walt Disney and it's sexually perverted and Satanic movies. The world is George Straight and his adulterous country songs. The world is rock n' roll and rap. The world is MTV. The world is Broadway. The world is Oprah Winfrey and her damnable New Age teachings. The world is Hollywood. The world is gambling casinos. The world is the race track.

The world is nightclubs. The world is materialism. The world is living for money, for a career. The world is everything that this temporal life has to offer which draws us away from God: away from holy living, away from obeying the Word of God, away from praying, away from living for Jesus, away from soulwinning, away from giving to the Lord's work, away from going to church, away from righteousness, and even away from getting saved. The world is our enemy! It is God's enemy (James 4:4). If we are friends of the world, then we are enemies of God!
