Interested in how one distinguishes "worldly" things from (I'm assuming) "godly" things in this context...?
There always seems to be a lot of fuzziness in the way church people talk about "worldly" things which creates a ton of miscommunication & semantic issues. Sometimes I'm not sure it isn't done on purpose by people trying to socially elevate themselves "as a better christian" while working very hard to never really define anything at all.
"Bad things" vs "good things" would be equally meaningless without a clear & well defined standard for distinguishing the two.
