Lovers of Pleasure More Than Lovers of God
"Lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God," is the word spoken of a certain class. What a comment upon the judgment of humanity! Many would be delighted by the association of kings and princes, of the rich and the noble, but these same ones have no respect for the Mighty One of the universe. He who is the origin of all dignity and power and grace and beauty and wealth and affluence and influence is unconsidered, while a mad rush is made into pleasures and follies that deaden and damn. Men choose darkness when they might have light, and we are told that this is the condemnation that rests upon human judgment, in that they make such a foolish choice.
