The world may win happiness elsewhere, but he cannot. I do not blame ungodly men for rushing to their pleasures. Let them have their fill. That is all they have to enjoy. Christians must seek their delights in a higher sphere than the insipid frivolities or sinful enjoyments of the world.
Vain pursuits are dangerous to renewed souls.
Their fall is fatal. No Christian is safe when his soul is slothful, and his God is far from him. Every Christian is always safe as to the great matter of his standing in Christ, but he is not safe as regards his experience in holiness, and communion with Jesus in this life. Satan does not often attack a Christian who is living near to God. It is when the Christian departs from his God, becomes spiritually starved, and endeavours to feed on vanities, that the devil discovers his vantage hour.
