Ten thousand are destroyed
by its smiles! (Thomas Brooks)
Where one thousand are destroyed
by the world's frowns--
ten thousand are destroyed
by its smiles!
A little of this world will serve
a man who is strong in grace.
Much of this world will serve
a man who is weak in grace.
But nothing will serve a man
who is void of grace!
in the world. If anyone loves the world,
the love of the FATHER is not in him.
For everything in the world--
the cravings of sinful man, the lust
of his eyes and the boasting of
what he has and does--
comes not from the FATHER but
from the world. The world and its
desires pass away, but the man who
does the will of GOD lives forever!"
1 John 2:15-17
