The Antidote to Worldliness

In chapter 1 of the new book Worldliness, CJ Mahaney reminds us:

"The antidote to worldliness is the cross of Jesus Christ."

"Only through the power of the cross of Christ can we successfully resist the seduction of the fallen world."

Owen: "Fill your affections with the cross of Christ and you will find no room for sin."

"What should consume our thoughts and affections is not resisting worldliness but the glory and grace of God revealed at the cross."

"Dwell where the cries of Calvary are louder than the clamor of the world."
