Summary

Summary

This resource uncovers the subtle presence of worldliness in our hearts and helps believers learn to relate to the world while resisting its influence.People today are saturated in technology and abundance. Most of us have access to endless luxuries: clothes to wear, cars to buy, vacations to take, entertainment to enjoy. Yet this world, which offers so many pleasures, is actively opposed to God and the truth of His Word. How, then, is the Christian to relate to the world in which we live?In Worldliness, C. J. Mahaney and fellow pastors wisely lead us to see the often subtle presence of worldliness in our hearts-the desires of the flesh and the desires of the eyes and pride in possessions (1 John 2:16).Looking at the areas of media, music, modesty, and material possessions in particular, Worldliness explores how Christians are to live lives worthy of the gospel and engage a fallen world, without being conformed and ultimately seduced by the system of this world.

Editorial Reviews

Editorial Reviews

“This book is biblically grounded and Christ-centered, full of grace and truth. Every chapter raises the bar of Christian living without falling into legalism. One of the most timely and much-need books I’ve read in years. I highly recommend it.” Randy Alcorn, author of Heaven and The Grace and Truth Paradox
“Expertly addresses the issues that prompt that subtle, insidious, silent slide away from God that each of us is prone to take. Pay attention to this thought-provoking work and protect your heart for God.” James MacDonald, senior pastor, Harvest Bible Chapel
“This book is biblical, practical, pastoral, and wise. It is honest, about the authors’ own temptations, and it is so specific it will be controversial! But such a book is greatly needed as a challenge today—for all of us.” Wayne Grudem, research professor of Bible and Theology, Phoenix Seminary
“The strength of the work is that the authors try very hard not to let you forget the sheer God-centeredness of the gospel.” D. A. Carson, research professor of New Testament, Trinity Evangelical Divinity School
“These skillful soul-surgeons are brilliant at diagnosis and treatment, and they will help you see yourself, your sin, and your Savior. I now know the first book I am going to reach for when a Christian is wrestling with worldliness—or isn’t but should be! This is a book I will make use of, by God’s grace, again and again.” Ligon Duncan, senior minister, First Presbyterian Church; president, Alliance of Confessing Evangelicals
