Revelation 3:20 (KJV) Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me.

Love not the world (accept God’s wisdom)
1 John 2:15-16 (KJV) 15 Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world.

Love is Our Culture
1 Corinthians 13:1 (KJV) Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and have not charity, I am become as sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal.
