We live in the world, but we must not worship it. Our duty is to place God FIRST, and everything else second. However, because we are fallible beings with imperfect faith, placing God in His rightful place is often difficult. In fact, at every turn, we are tempted to do otherwise. The 21st century world is a noisy, distracting place filled with countless opportunities to stray from God’s will. The world seems to cry, “Worship me with your time, your money, your energy and your thoughts!” But, God commands otherwise. He commands us to worship Him and Him alone. As imperfect beings living in an imperfect world, let us direct our paths far from the temptations and distractions of this world, and follow in the footsteps of God’s Son today and forever. Romans 12:2
