The term “the world” can refer to the earth, humanity, or an ungodly mindset, depending on the context. I share some Biblical examples of each of these then move into a discussion of worldliness. God doesn’t call believers to withdraw from society, but He does charge them to guard against adopting ungodly attitudes and heart desires.
