Every day that we're not practicing godliness we're being conformed to the world of ungodliness around us.
Jerry BridgesAs we become soft and lazy in our bodies, we tend to become soft and lazy spiritually.
Jerry BridgesThe sin of worldliness is a preoccupation with the things of this temporal life. It's accepting and going along with the views and practices of society around us without discerning if they are biblical. I believe that the key to our tendencies toward worldliness lies primarily in the two words โgoing alongโ. We simply go along with the values and practices of society.
Jerry BridgesThe great antidote to anxiety is to come to God in prayer. We are to pray about everything. Nothing is too big for Him to handle, and nothing is too small to escape His attention.
Jerry BridgesThe solution to staying on the right side of the fine line between using and abusing grace is repentance. The road to repentance is godly sorrow (2 Corinthians 7:10). Godly sorrow is developed when we focus on the true nature of sin as an offense against God rather than something that makes us feel guilty.
