1 John 2:16

For everything in the world—the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life—comes not from the Father but from the world. (1 John 2:16 NIV)

Everyday we are in conflict with the worlds ways.  Why?   We live in a world that is crazed over gratifying self.  Our culture also encourages us to bow to materialism.  It's all about what else you can get and what your status is.  This is toxic for our spiritual growth. 

When tempted with these attitudes remember what God values....self control, generosity, humbleness, and a servants heart while we interact with our world.
