The world is not a place where all your dreams will come true, but rather a place where nightmares are realized and where death reigns over the living. The world is a dangerous place where security and protection is sought and where men defend themselves with guns and walls and armies. The world is not your friend, but your enemy and Jesus Christ came not only to separate you from the world, but that you might overcome it and be rescued from it. Love not the world nor the things in it which serve only to satisfy the lusts of the flesh and eyes and the pride of man. Walk in this world as harmless as doves, but wise as serpents because your enemy the Devil is the ruler of this world and controls those who love it.

We are to be looking for a NEW heaven and earth and our King and Lord. To love this world is to take your eyes off the prize and the coming of our Savior and the end of Death and the Grave. This world is not your resting place, but your testing
