Who are your friends?

...Do you not know that friendship with the world is hostility toward God? So whoever wants to be the world's friend becomes God's enemy. James 4:4 Today I was brutally confronted and conflicted with the verse you've just read. What is a friend of the world? I know many I would consider to be personal friends although perhaps not "close" friends but friends nontheless. Another Bible verse on my mind is 1 John 2:15. It reads, "Stop loving this evil world and all that it offers you, for when you love the world, you show that you do not have the love of the Father in you." As one who seeks to follow Christ, I must ask myself, do I love this world? There are many things that are considered "fun" and definitely even exciting. Of course, many who know me would know it takes a great deal for me to be visibly excited but nevertheless, I ask, what am I getting excited about? God knows and that is more than convicting for me.
