1 John 2:15-17
New American Standard Bible (NASB)
Do Not Love the World
15 Do not love the world nor 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 lust of the flesh and the lust of the eyes and the boastful pride of life, is not from the Father, but is from the world. 17 The world is passing away, and also its lusts; but the one who does the will of God lives forever.

These are my thoughts please share yours.
15 Believers are not meant for this world they are meant for the world the Lord will bring about. We as believers are to set apart and be different then those who do not have a personal relationship with Jesus. We are to love the Godly things such as pray and giving we are to be to wrapped up in this world. The best example of this is Lot and his wife.Gen 19 Lot let the city of Sodom corrupt him and Lot's wife could not give up the city and shared their wrath because of it.
16 The desires one has before they come to the Lord should start to go away when they start to serve the Lord. We should love not hate give not take and such things as this.
17 God and the Word last forever along with those who believe in both. Evil will burn and all that will remain is good.
