The topic of "worldliness" is rarely a subject for Bible Studies or sermons. The reason is simple: to do so would be to lose dozens of congregants by the severity of what is actually commanded. If believed and followed, the entire lifestyle of any believer would be seriously disrupted. See so for yourself.
"I could not address you as spiritual but as worldly—mere infants in Christ...You are still worldly, for since there is jealousy and quarreling among you are you not worldly?" 1Cor3:1 "Your minds are on worldly things. But our citizenship is in heaven." Phil3:19
"My kingdom is not of this world, if it were I would fight. I do not live by the standards of this world For though I live in the world I do not wage war as the world does. The weapons I fight with are not the weapons of the world." 2Cor10:3
"I do not belong to this world." Jn15:19 "I have given them thy word; and the world hath hated them, because they are not of the world, even as I am not of the world." Jn17:14
"I do not love the world or anything worldly. For everything in the world...comes not from the father but from the world." 1Jn2:15
"The ways of the world are not worthy of us." Heb11:38
"Do not conform any longer to the patterns of the world." Romans12:2
"The wisdom of this world is foolishness."1cor3:19 "God chose the foolish things of the world to shame the wise; God chose the weak things of the world to shame the strong." 1Cor1:27
"So from now on we regard no one from a worldly point of view. Though we once regarded Christ in this way, we do so no longer." 2Cor5:16
"Let us set our minds on things above, not on worldly things, for friendship with the world is hatred towards God. Anyone who chooses to become a friend of the world is an enemy of God." James 4:4
“Be not afraid...Put away your sword...Stand ye still...You do not have to fight this battle...The lord will deliver you...Rest in Christ, the full armor of God."

If a Christian, re-think your entire worldview to the point it finally and rightly disappears into the Event Horizon of the Eternal.
