That is the plan. In fact, I was working on a follow-up post, it started getting involved, and I thought, “I really need to turn this into a Bible study for our people.” It will allow me a way to work into the music and culture issues as well, something I have been wanting to do for a while.

Yes, I will turn it into articles for oxgoad. Thanks for your links.

I did some writing about worldliness in a blog series at http://eternalviewpoint.com/?series=423. This was based on a message I preached (http://www.bcmedu.org/index.php?option=com_docman&Itemid=&task=doc_download&gid=542).

There certainly is need for a clear understanding of these topics.

Thanks, Thomas.

I am working on a comprehensive study of godliness/worldliness. It is going to be the content for our Sunday Bible Study hour for the next month or so. Certainly the way out of our problems in either category is the walk of faith by grace.

If I may, I would like to highlight a particular aspect that I believe is significant. 2 Peter 1:3 indicates that true godliness (as well as true life) is made possible by the supernatural enabling of God. Hard as I may try, I am not able to manifest appropriate reverence for God and respect for other men unless I first appropriate the gift of God’s grace to do it. Godliness is as much a change of dependence as it is a change of attitude. God made it possible for me to reverence Him, because I couldn’t do it myself. Without question, no other God has given such a gift.
