Worldliness is whatever makes sin look normal and righteousness look strange.
Kevin DeYoung
Image
Worldliness in the church is a lot more pervasive than a lack of passion for evangelism. Nevertheless, one of the results of worldliness is a waning enthusiasm for evangelism.
Mark Dever
Image
Day and night, and every moment, there are voices about us. All the hours speak as they pass and in every event there is a message to us and all our circumstances talk with us but it is in Divine language, that worldliness misunderstands, that selfishness is frightened at, and that only the children of God hear rightly and happily.
William Mountford
Image
I would like to live to see the time when the men and woman of God - holy, separated and spiritually enlightened - walk out of the evangelical church and form a group of their own when they get off the sinking ship and let her go down in the brackish and worldliness and form a new ark to ride out the storm.

Image
There is no more mistaken path to happiness than worldliness, revelry, high life.
Arthur Schopenhauer
Image
God's truth is too sacred to be expounded to superficial worldliness in its transient fit of earnestness.
Frederick William Robertson
Image
Politics, or controversy, or party spirit, or worldliness, have eaten out the heart of lively piety in too many of us. The subject of personal godliness has fallen sadly into the background.
J. C. Ryle
Image
Spiritual worldliness kills! It kills the soul! It kills the Church!
Pope Francis
Image
The magnetic needle always points to the north, and hence it is that sailing vessel does not lose her direction. So long as the heart of man is directed towards God, he cannot be lost in the ocean of worldliness.
Ramakrishna
Image
I find nothing in the Bible but holiness, and nothing in the world but worldliness. Therefore, if I live in the world, I will become worldly on the other hand, if I live in the Bible, I will become holy.
Smith Wigglesworth
Image
When the devil is called the god of this world, it is not because he made it, but because we serve him with our worldliness.
Thomas Aquinas
Image
A dim consciousness of infinite mystery and grandeur lies beneath all the commonplace of life . There is an awfulness and a majesty around us, in all our little worldliness .
Albert Pike
Image
The nature of Christ's salvation is woefully misrepresented by the present-day evangelist. He announces a Saviour from Hell rather than a Saviour from sin. And that is why so many are fatally deceived, for there are multitudes who wish to escape the Lake of fire who have no desire to be delivered from their carnality and worldliness.
Arthur W. Pink
Image
Bonhoeffer's emphasis on the deep this-worldliness of Christianity does not lead to de-escahtologizing the gospel.
G. C. Berkouwer
Image
The most dangerous thing in the world is the sin of self-reliance and the stupor of worldliness.
John Piper
Image
There is a divide in our culture between people who want to see evidence of a politiсian's knowledge and worldliness, and people for whom git 'er done actions, as you put it, provide tangible proof of the ability to lead. I don't know how developed that idea is.
Libby Copeland
Image
the unfortunate thing about worldliness is that its rewards are rather less than its appetites.
Phyllis Bottome
Image
If you first fortify yourself with the true knowledge of the Universal Self, and then live in the midst of wealth and worldliness, surely they will in no way affect you.
Ramakrishna
Image
Americans ought to be the best-traveled, most cosmopolitan people on earth, not only because experience of the world is desirable in its own right, but because as a people acquires a great concentration of power, worldliness becomes a moral imperative.
Shana Alexander
Image
It will require more than a few hours of fasting and prayer to cast out such demons as selfishness, worldliness, and unbelief. Repentance, to be of any avail, must work a change of heart and of conduct.
Theodore L. Cuyler
Image
Faith is the inspiration of nobleness, it is the strength of integrity it is the life of love, and is everlasting growth for it it is courage of soul, and bridges over for our crossing the gulf between worldliness and heavenly-mindedness and it is the sense of the unseen, without which we could not feel God nor hope for heaven.
William Mountford
