Kevin DeYoung: Do Not Love the World

The Apostle John warns us not to love the world, and our fallen tendency to view the world as an ultimate end in itself means that we must fight against our dark inclinations to set our hearts on this age and its pleasures. But God created the world to glorify Himself, and as we make Him our ultimate end, we can identify the sins that manifest our love for the world and enjoy the Lord’s creation in an appropriate way. Rev. Kevin DeYoung calls on the Lord to restore us to a high view of the world as the arena of God’s glory, and he describes how Christians, in pursuing the light of God, can identify and fight against sin in the world while loving our enemies and blessing those who curse us.

9 years later this is still a fantastic sermon.

[@solascriptura7975]

I’ve seen great quotes by Kevin DeYoung but this is the first time I’ve seen him preach. Excellent. Thank you

[@shereehalls7705]

This is the first time I’ve heard this gentleman preaching but it was wonderful and definitely needed...I’m cutting a lot of things out of my life ..Tv.. etc just reading my Bible every day..

[@wealthcreator1902]

Nice. Reading our Bibles steady and meditating the word of God every now and then is priceless. You will drive out Demons 👿 with Just one sentence in Jesus name

[@A.E.Lanman777]

To be fair though this world is not our home we are just passing through, and at the same time this is my fathers world he has total control over everything.

[@jjjj-ss8dq]

1st john is talking about how to live the Christian life after we are saved. It's about fellowship with God, not about whether someone is saved. Salvation is not about how much we love God. It is about how much God loves us. As they pertain to salvation, commandments or law is to make a realize we cannot keep them, at least not to God's standard. So then see our need for forgiveness through Jesus sacrifice for us.

[@BenjaminLynch1]

This was the first time I have seen/heard Kevin Deyoung. I truly enjoyed his message. Timely and needed! Give it a watch, you will not regret it. #Ligonier

No temptation has overtaken you that is not common to man. God is faithful, and he will not let you be tempted beyond your ability, but with the temptation he will also provide the way of escape, that you may be able to endure it. 1 Corinthians 10:13

[@LightOfTruthMessages]

I don't keep tabs on who says what, but everything I've heard and read from DeYoung has been solid. I really like him. :)

[@Pastor_Grant]

@@LightOfTruthMessages TGC is woke. I am weary of anyone who works for a woke organization but if he mainly teaches solid doctrine then amen, we always need test what people say 1 Thes 5:21

[@LightOfTruthMessages]

@@Pastor_Grant I'm aware that there's some issues there. It's not something that we in Europe have put much time into being focused on (at least I haven't since it doesn't affect my context). Knowing that, I'm reluctant to throw everything in the ring and say that DeYoung isn't mixed up in the Social Gospel, etc. All I know is that what I've heard/read of him to this point has been faithful. Yet, if he is still involved with TGC that is worth a step of caution. However, I don't want to throw out the baby with the bathwater. I'd want to see him directly affirming that wokeness before throwing him out. Hope that makes sense? :)

[@Pastor_Grant]

@@LightOfTruthMessages makes sense. God bless.

[@emmanuelwolf6568]

What I've never understood when growing up as a member of the cult of Jehovah's witnesses, thankfully,I've realized they are wrong,but why do most Christians wear suits if they are talking about not being like the world,when the most evil people in the world wear them,even so much that the saying goes,never trust a man in a suit.when you may get judged if you wear a leather jacket and long hair.it must mean something different,more of the heart than what you wear.

[@wealthcreator1902]

Thank God for saving you from the deception of Jehovah witness satanic cult. Conforming to the image of our Lord Jesus Christ should be your every seconds desires and target and you can achieve this by reading your Bible and meditating and praying fervently for the holy spirit to guide you and give you the power to hate any form of sin with perfect hatred and love rightouness just as our father in heaven

[@grdntrvrrw]

28:30 .. this is the way of the most dangerous false prophets . They preach the convicting scriptures but in very subtle ways, by their example, redefine in the conscience of their listeners the real standard that the scripture they preach sets ( as manifest in the life of Christ and His Apostles). They heal the hurt of His people slightly, your sport is an abomination to God there is no legitimate reason to watch it, it will not exist after the return of Christ BECAUSE He will remove ALL things that offend. The takeaway.. Watching a little bit of sport is not what those scripture speak against when it says love not the world and is “justified” .

[@Psalm146-2]

“This is the way of the most dangerous false prophets.” Matthew 23:27-28 “Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You are like whitewashed tombs, which look beautiful on the outside, but on the inside are full of dead men’s bones and every kind of impurity. In the same way, on the outside you appear to be righteous, but on the inside you are full of hypocrisy and wickedness.”

Stop with the goofy failed attempt at comedy, not what I needed.

[@ivi122]

That’s exactly what I was thinking. I watched a video about God, like a documentary, and he was speaking along with many other ppl. He spoke so serious, and it was so enlightening that I looked him up in here but I wasn’t expecting him to give a sermon almost like a comedy show…not what I was looking for either.
