Do not love the world!

What has your heart: the things of this world or the will of God? In this episode of The Daily Bread Podcast, we explore John’s warning about worldly desires, the pull of what we see, and pride in what we have. It’s an invitation to examine what shapes our choices and turn our hearts toward what lasts. The world and its desires are passing away, but whoever does the will of God lives forever.
