The Arabic proverb says, "That the world is a carcass,
and those who hunt after it are dogs." Ah, how
many professors are there, who hunt more after earth
than heaven; who hunt more after terrestrial than
celestial things; who hunt more after nothingnesses
and emptinesses, than they do after those fullnesses
and sweetnesses which are in God, in Christ, in the
covenant, in heaven, and in those paths which lead
to eternal happiness!
"Everyone born of God overcomes the world.
This is the victory that has overcome the world,
even our faith." 1 John 5:4
Those who live by faith, do not only resist, but
also triumph over all the glittering temptations
of a tempting and enticing world.
