"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.

"That which is highly esteemed among men is
an abomination in the sight of God." Luke 16:15
