“Ye cannot serve God and
Mammon.” Experience and observation corroborate this; and hence as a
rule we find that people are either cold or hot in spiritual things.
. . We are to “seek first (chiefly] the Kingdom of God.” It is to be
our chief concern and to receive from us all the time, attention,
thought, energy, influence and means we have the things needful
for the present life being understood to be excepted; and our
love and zeal will be manifested by the proportion of even these we
are willing to sacrifice in the interest of heavenly
things. |
