The World

1 John 2:16 NIV
For everything in the world—the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life—comes not from the Father but from the world.

The world is wicked. We know that the world is wicked but many cannot run away from the world or tempted by the world.

Pastor Lawrence actually asked the question in the sermon. It is wrong to be rich. ? But he added that it is wrong to be flirty rich. Meaning the wealth is not coming from the right way or it come from illegal way.

Bible also have few people who are very wealthy. The one that I recently read is Job.  At the end God blessed his second half of his life many times more than the first half. Read below.

Job 42:12 NIV
The Lord blessed the latter part of Job’s life more than the former part. He had fourteen thousand sheep, six thousand camels, a thousand yoke of oxen and a thousand donkeys.
