What a brittle thing is all the glory, wealth, and honor of this vain world!
How empty, and what trash does it appear!
And yet men sell their souls to grasp it, and at last pass away from it and find it all a phantom.
How unceasing is Satan in forever bringing it before our eyes, in some form or other!
What is all the pomp and wealth and rank of this poor fleeting world, in contrast with the glory that shall soon be revealed in all those who love His appearing?
The spirit of the world is eating out the very heart and life of true godliness!
~George Everard
Refined worldliness is the present snare of the Church of God!
~Horatius Bonar
James 4:4 Ye adulterers and adulteresses, know ye not that the friendship of the world is enmity with God? whosoever therefore will be a friend of the world is the enemy of God.
~Mary Winslow
