3. His worship is direct toward himself

• Luke 18:11 - Prayer: I thank you that I am not like other men
• Philippians 3:19 - Their god is their stomach
• 2 Timothy 3:2 - People will be lovers of themselves

4. His pleasure is to fulfill himself

• 2 Timothy 3:4 - Lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God
• Proverbs 21:17 - He who loves pleasure will become poor
• 1 Timothy 5:6 - But the widow who lives for pleasure is dead

5. His sinful nature is expressed through the gratification of self

• Galatians 5:16 - Live by the Spirit and not our sinful desires
