Love not!

The world that we live in is an interesting place. The people that live in the world are quite alluring as well. One of the most striking things about human beings today is their love for the world itself. There are some who want to save the planet, there are some who want to save the animals, and there are some who want to save themselves. They will do this by eating the healthiest foods, getting plastic surgery, or even taking certain supplements that would increase their life. John, in his epistle, tells us: "Do not love the world or the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in Him. For all that is in the world-the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life-is not of the father but is of the world." (I John 2:15,16) We may live in the world, but we do not have to act worldly. The people that we know and friends that we have want to find happiness and fulfillment. It is our job as Christians to show them our genuine love for the Lord and how they too can have a personal relationship with Jesus. This is the right kind of love!
