Beliefs & Doctrine

Worldly

  1. Describing anything seen as belonging to "the world" — values, entertainment, fashion, or behavior — that draws a person away from gospel standards.

Used as a caution ("that's pretty worldly") to mark something as prioritizing secular culture over spiritual commitments. What counts as worldly varies a good deal from person to person and family to family.
