Worldliness Defined
Mark 4:7
And some fell among thorns, and the thorns grew up, and choked it, and it yielded no fruit.


It is the spirit of a life, not the objects with which the life is conversant. It is not the "flesh," nor the "eye," nor "life" which are forbidden, but the lust of these. It is not this earth nor the men who inhabit it, nor the sphere of our legitimate activity, that we may not love; but it is the way in which the love is given which constitutes worldliness.

(F. W. Robertson.)
