Loving the World
When you see scripture telling us to not "love the world" I hope people don't take it out of context. This is not anti green peace or go ahead and litter because what does it matter. This is the "world" in terms following what seems right to people that is actually not in line with God's will. The world can mean culture as it changes depending on the decade, century, era or millennium. Not loving the world is the best way to say "keep God at the center of your life." In 1 John 2:15 we are told " Do not love the world or the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him." That means if you have put culture over that which is of God in accordance with His will, then God is not in you directing your path because He would not lead you astray.

Matthew 6:1
Matthew 6:1 "Beware of practicing your righteousness before other people
in order to be seen by them..." commentary- Along with the Lord's
Prayer, Matthew 6 contains a deeper look into what we do & our
intent. There are times that we do things to be noticed. Whether it is
clothes, hair, makeup, jewelery or possessions, we have to question our
own motives. Are we doing it for God or to be noticed by others? God's
approval is the only approval that matters.
