Prosperity More Dangerous Than Adversity

In this world of temptation, the experience of adversity is not nearly so dangerous to the Christian as material prosperity. Ten men will bear up under adversity where one will pass through the ordeal of prosperity unscathed. "How hardly shall they that have riches enter into the kingdom of God!" But despite the warning that "they that will be rich [desire to be rich] fall into temptation and a snare, and into many foolish and hurtful lusts, which drown men in destruction and perdition," there are few indeed who are not willing to risk it.
