THE WORLDLING'S GOD

Who would part with his God? I will part with my life rather than with my God. No wonder then that the covetous man so hugs his gold; it is his god. If you take that from him, he may cry with Micah when he lost his God, What have I more? His heaven is gone, his happiness is gone; his all is gone, if God be gone: I will not therefore wonder so much at the closeness of his hand, at the vainness of his heart. We count it singular wisdom, to keep that God we choose; but that is absolute folly, to choose that god we cannot keep.
