Spiritual growth is stunted by the "world"

1 cor 3:1-9
Biggest threat is seduction to accommodate our bodies. To be disconnected from God. Biblical worldview is everything for the glory of God; enjoy the world, engage the world and be God's ambassador in the world.

But how do you know your spiritual growth is stunted by the "world"
1. Sin doesn't bother you
2. You're passion for Christ and his mission is wilting
3. You're growth in Christ is not evident to yourself or others. You're a complainer who can't get along with anyone.

It's okay to be new in Christ. Time matters in the Christian walk as in physical life. It's okay to enjoy the world (God made), engage the world (as God commanded), and evangelize the world (go, make disciples).

I have two trees the same age, one is huge and healthy. The other is identical to when I planted it 10 years ago.
- wisdom comes with age, but sometimes age comes alone
- worldliness stunts our spiritual appetites
- spiritual kindergarten, while being high-school age

Junk food, ruins appetite for good food
- six days in the world,  only 1 hour for God
- get sick, dehydrated need intravenous feeding in ER. Don't do it!

If you don't love God's word, you'll never
grow. Hunger for God's word.

Being "on the fence" is not genuine and offensive to believers and nonbelievers alike.

Worldliness stunts our ability to see how God works.

Do not love the world or anything in the world. If anyone loves the world, love for the Father is not in them. 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 and its desires pass away, but whoever does the will of God lives forever.
1 John 2:15‭-‬17 NIV

Said another way
Don’t love the world’s ways. Don’t love the world’s goods. Love of the world squeezes out love for the Father. Practically everything that goes on in the world—wanting your own way, wanting everything for yourself, wanting to appear important—has nothing to do with the Father. It just isolates you from him. The world and all its wanting, wanting, wanting is on the way out—but whoever does what God wants is set for eternity.
