Many of us have become wordly. You think that wordly means that you say certain words. Wordly means that you sometimes don't have courage. That sometimes you don't speak truthfully. Wordliness is saying well someone was offended and we need to apologize. Maybe they should have been offended. We worship a guy who got murdered.

Go offer your employer how much you offer God, see how long you last.
The main reason why men dote upon the world, and damn their souls to get the world, is, because they are not acquainted with a greater glory!Precious Remedies Against Satan's Devices
Oh, you who want unfailing comfort, I commend you to Christ! In Him alone there is no failure. Rich men are disappointed in their treasures. Learned men are disappointed in their books. Husbands are disappointed in their wives. Wives are disappointed in their husbands. Parents are disappointed in their children. Statesmen are disappointed when, after many a struggle, they attain place and power. They find out, to their cost, that it is more pain than pleasure-that it is disappointment, annoyance, incessant trouble, worry, vanity, and vexation of spirit. But no man was ever disappointed in Christ. Holiness (Chapter 20)
Every Christian who prays is functionally a Calvinist who believes in the sovereignty of God. Facebook Wall
He who boasts of being one of God's elect, while he is willfully and habitually living in sin, is only deceiving himself, and talking wicked blasphemy.Holiness, Ch2
Don't be duped by the gurus of the age. They are here today and gone tomorrow. One enslaving fad follows another. Thirty years from now today's tattoos will not be marks of freedom, but indelible reminders of conformity.Fifty Reasons Why Jesus Came to Die (59)
Don't kid yourself. Sin is an onramp to death. If you get on it and don't repent, turn around, and exit, you will find the landscape getting darker, grosser, filthier, and deadlier. Porn Again Christian (Chapter 4)
If your heart takes more pleasure in reading novels, or watching TV, or going to the movies, or talking to friends, rather than just sitting alone with God and embracing Him, sharing His cares and His burdens, weeping and rejoicing with Him, then how are you going to handle forever and ever in His presence? You'd be bored to tears in heaven, if you're not ecstatic about God now!
There is a strong drift toward the hard theological left. Some emergent types want to recast Jesus as a limp-wrist hippie in a dress with a lot of product in His hair, who drank decaf and made pithy Zen statements about life while shopping for the perfect pair of shoes. In Revelation, Jesus is a pride fighter with a tattoo down His leg, a sword in His hand and the commitment to make someone bleed. That is a guy I can worship. I cannot worship the hippie, diaper, halo Christ because I cannot worship a guy I can beat up. I fear some are becoming more cultural than Christian, and without a big Jesus who has authority and hates sin as revealed in the Bible, we will have less and less Christians and more and more confused, spiritually self-righteous blogger critics of Christianity.
Large numbers of Americans...profess belief in God but live like atheists.
We worship a guy who got murdered. The cross is an offense. And if it is not occasionally proclaimed in an offensive way then we might be false teachers. Sermon - Christ Controversy and Cutting words
Sometimes in the effort to defend sola scriptora we wrongly argue solo scriptora. Four Points (25 min) http://theresurgence.com/2011/07/25/four-points-of-the-movement
