Christianity and Love of the World
The Christian Advocate very appropriately remarks: “A multitude of professed Christians who have cheered themselves hoarse and spent days in drumming up voters, stirring up sluggards, convincing the doubtful, helping the hesitating to decide, and who were not ashamed to make the rafters ring with their jubilation over the victory, would be ashamed to be found making similar efforts to lead friends, neighbors, and strangers to choose Christ for their leader and the commandments of God for their platform.” All of this shows that they have just that much more interest in the things of this world than they have in the things of Christ and of God. And then where is their Christianity? “Where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.” And “if any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him.”
