The World Teaches Us to Despise God's Goodness
Consider Psalm 21:8-13. It's very interesting how the World keeps harping on about what we shouldn't say or think, and those things are directly related to God's praise in this Bible passage. It threatens direct harm. It speaks of the children of God's enemies in ways that we have been taught is wrong. So, think about it and wonder what you have believed from the World's teaching which seemed good but is actually opposed to right thinking as revealed in God's Word to us. Our enemies are not our friends, like the World is trying to coerce us into believing. And that coercion is very persuasive, because our Master Jesus told us to love our enemies. But His love burns their heads like hot coals. It's straightforward love to us, though. If we cross the line from doing truly kind things to the World and begin to think of them as our friends or as people we have to win to Christ by compromising the slightest goodness, then we've misunderstood Paul's method...
