Do not love the world or the things in the world. ... ~ 1st John 2:15-17 The world is powerful. The prince of the air has influence to have success over you. Many have parents that are unqualified. It really is the individual against the world. The world sells as:

His word fills us with knowledge beholding wisdom. We need to overcome our foolishness. "... Sodom: ... had pride, fullness of food, and abundance of idleness; neither did she strengthen the hand of the poor and needy." ~ Ezekiel 16:49 ... The rich man also died and was buried. And being in torments in Hades, he lifted up his eyes and saw Abraham afar off, and Lazarus ... ~ Luke 16:19-31 Pride is sophisticated – the few, the proud.
