"That which is highly esteemed among men is
an abomination in the sight of God." Luke 16:15
The pride,
the ambition,
the pleasures,
the amusements,
in which we see thousands and tens of thousands
engaged—and sailing down the stream into a dreadful
gulf of eternity—are all an abomination in the sight of
God.
Whereas, such things as . . .
faith,
hope,
love,
humility,
brokenness of heart,
tenderness of conscience,
contrition of spirit,
sorrow for sin,
self-loathing,
self-abasement,
looking to Jesus,
taking up the cross,
denying one's self,
walking in the strait and narrow path that leads to
eternal life—in a word, the power of godliness—these
things are despised by all—and by none so much as
mere heady professors who have a name to live while
dead.
