Do Not Mock GOD And CHRIST.

Refined worldliness
(Horatius Bonar)

The multitudes of professors 
among us want as much religion 
as will save them from Hell--
and not an atom more. 

The world is their real GOD; 
gold is their idol--
it is in mammon's temple 
that they worship. They 
are, in fact, worldly men 
varnished over with religion--
that is all. Oh, do not trifle with religion. 
Do not mock GOD and CHRIST. 

Refined worldliness is 
the present snare of the Church. 
The young are trained and encouraged 
by their parents to be "lovers of pleasure." 
Parties, dancing, theaters, and such 
like, are no longer forbidden things 
to the followers of the LAMB!

Parents! Beware of giving your 
children a taste for the world's gaieties.

"Do not love the world!" 
(1 John 2:15). 

Do not teach your children 
to love it. Keep them "from being 
polluted by the world!" (James 1:27).
