SUNDAY MORNING (August 5th) • "That You May Know"Do Not Love the World or Its Things (1 John 2:15 ..17)Do not love the world or the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the loveof the Father is not in him. For all that is in the world-the desires of the flesh andthe desires of the eyes and pride in possessions-is not from the Father but is fromthe world. And the world is passing away along with its desires, but whoever doesthe will of God abides forever. (I John 2:15-17)In everyday terms, what does it mean to "love the world" and "the things in the world"?why is loving the world and its things such a serious issue that disciples of Christ would bewarned in this way?why is it either "the world" or "the Father"? Why can't it be both?__ In what way is "the love of the Father [not "in" a disciple who loves the world?What does John mean when he references:• The desires of the flesh?• The desires of the eyes?• Pride in possessions (or the pride of life)?
