Lovers of Pleasure

But in all this as in that of old, "This thing became a sin." It is not the service of God at all. All such are "lovers of pleasure more than lovers of God," and he commands, "From such turn away." This is what was done by a great many in that time, for we read: "And the priests and the Levites that were in all Israel resorted to him [Rehoboam] out of all their coasts. And after them, out of all the tribes of Israel, such as set their hearts to seek the Lord God of Israel came to Jerusalem, to sacrifice unto the Lord God of their fathers." 2 Chron. 11: 13, 16.
