When something is not of God, that is, it is not approved in the Bible by word, principle or example, it is of the world. Therefore, it is either of the flesh or the Devil. When I say "world " I mean the fallen, social system governed by Satan "The god of this world..." (II Cor. 4:4), which appeals to the flesh and works on principles that are opposed to God. When I say something is "worldly, " I want you to know exactly what I mean. Here is my definition of the word world as in: "Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world.,." John 2:15).
1.Worldly is that which is sinful, that which breaks the commandments of God.
2.Worldly is that which is satanic or evil such as rock music (much of which is dedicated to Satan and also uses many satanic symbols and signs), spook and booger movies, New Age music, drugs and occult.
Worldly is that which is sensual, that which stimulates, titillates or inflames the flesh. This includes many dating activities such as kissing, touching (forerunners to sex), petting (sex with your clothes on), or dancing (sex with your clothes on standing up). It also includes how you dress. Certain dress and hairstyles are sensual because they make a sexual statement and stimulate the flesh. Christian young ladies need to understand that certain sensual dress and frizzy hairstyles say to a boy, "Try me, I might. " They are a subtle offer of sex. That is what makes them popular and exciting, isn't it? 4. Worldly is that which is selfish. It is worldly to use someone to gratify yourself, or ruin your testimony or someone else's just to satisfy yourself. It is worldly to dishonor God, your family, and your church, just to enjoy some sensual pleasure.
