The first time I got tested for COVID to fly to Alaska, I went to a test center, and they put a swab up my nose so far that I was afraid they were in my brain; it was very painful.

The disease of worldliness is the biggest reason for lukewarmness, apathy, and backsliding in American Christians. It is highly contagious, and it is hard to see in ourselves.

The devil uses money and the stuff it can buy as his primary tools in his attempts to draw us away from God, and he has a very high rate of success, just like Eve, Judas, Ananias, and Sopphia.

A major problem is that we all tend to be naive in the probability of becoming entangled in the world to the point that we become useless to God to do anything for Him that matters.

So, the test is simple: what are you doing for God that matters? Do you have a ministry of some sort. Most Christians do not because they don’t have time because they are using it all up on the world.
