Worldliness

The face of warfare is changing, and yet so few see it. This world is not only at war with various enemies but In Christ we are at war. Ephesians 6 calls us to stand firm against the devil. 2 Corinthians 10 charges us to destroy speculations and the high places raised up against Christ. 1 Timothy 6 calls us to fight the good fight of faith. Yet of all types of warfare we might face as Christians, the most deadly is worldliness.

We see this in Hosea 7. Here God confronted His people on account of their unholy alliance with the world. May God give us the grace to respond to this exhortation appropriately, looking to ourselves lest we too be tempted.
