Defining Worldly Passions (Titus 2:12, 1 John 2:15-17)
Don Johnson, May 30, 2010
Part of the Godliness-Worldliness series, preached at a Sun Study service
In this lesson we come to some conclusions about the worldly lusts mentioned in Titus 2.12, and turn to 1 Jn 2.15-17 for a further definition and understanding of the term. These desires are the underlying motives of ungodliness and are opposed to a life lived soberly, righteously, and godly which grace instructs us to live.

Titus 2:12
12 training us to renounce ungodliness and worldly passions, and to live self-controlled, upright, and godly lives in the present age, (ESV)
1 John 2:15-17
15 Do not love the world or the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. 16 For all that is in the world—the desires of the flesh and the desires of the eyes and pride in possessions—is not from the Father but is from the world. 17 And the world is passing away along with its desires, but whoever does the will of God abides forever. (ESV)
