It seems that more important than that are the other factors he mentioned, as well as connection to the environment.

I think that our current way of life is very unfortunate and unnatural, especially when we live in cities. However, I don't think that human nature has changed that much, just our surroundings. If we change our surroundings, we could get back to our roots more. My partner and I try to eat as much local, organic produce as possible, maintain a relationship with our Creator, exercise daily in a variety of ways, and we are still working on building community.

When we do that, our selfish desires fade & sin loses its grip on us because we are living the way we were made to live. We are set free. The ironic thing is that we cling to our sin & selfish desires but if we put God 1st we will receive the best He has for us. The root of this is doubt in God, a doubt that he will keep His promises & really bless us & that He has a plan for our good if we do things His way. We want to do things our way because we have more trust in ourselves.

If God is not our #1 object of love & worship then something else will be. Everyone -regardless of religion, or lack of one – worships something, or someone. As a society we worship wealth, sex, status. We put vast amounts of our time, resources & effort into acquiring these things. Whenever we lust after someone we are worshipping them & their body instead of God. We either worship creation or creator.

Dr. Wlilliams stated exactly the opposite.
