Since the practices surrounding death and burial are so different, I took them to a funeral home to explain our practices. They were astounded by our expensive, elaborate burial practices. Many things suggest that we American Christians have settled in this world. Christians should not love this world or the things in this world. The key is understanding what it means to love.
Love declares significance, establishes priority, and determines value.
Explain what those three things are. The lust of the flesh concerns the strong, controlling desires of the physical body. The lust of the eye concerns the strong, controlling physical imaginations that create our dreams and visions. We long for the physical possibilities of our visions to be our physical reality. The pride of life concerns the boastful arrogance that measures significance by material considerations.
