In this vital message from 1 John 2:15–29, Dr. Michael Youssef warns against the deadly danger of a conflicted heart—a life torn between the love of God and the pull of the world. Life at its best is lost when the believer opens the gates of the flesh, the eyes, and pride. Dr. Youssef outlines how to guard against spiritual ruin: keep your gates tightly shut, your eyes wide open to deception, and your mind firmly anchored in the Word of God. The world is passing away, but those who do the will of God will remain forever. Confession, repentance, and surrender to Christ’s Lordship are the only path back to joy, peace, and power.
