WORLDLINESS
The sweeter
morsel for the worm?
What makes the children of God so strange?
The world
The poor things of time and sense
Slaves to the customs and temper of the
world.
The world will lose its charms!
Poor ephemeral things which cannot last
Break its alluring spell
The world is a great enemy!
Don't touch their filthy things!
Strangers & Pilgrims
A painted bauble
Money
This cheap Christianity
Nothing but a huge clod of dust
The wilderness wanderer
It will come in at every chink and crevice!
The world passes away, and the lust thereof
We chase it like a bubble in the air!
We find that they are empty bubbles
This cheating and deluding scene.
The enchantment of the world?
What are all the gilded toys of time?
Idolatry!
We were not always a set of poor mopes
Seductive scenes of giddiness and mirth?
Madam Bubble we have seen with her mask off
and are not to be fascinated by so ugly a
witch!
These fugitive, transitory things
The thorns
Painted bubbles?
Where lions have their dens and panthers prowl
That ever promising, yet ever deceiving world?
A state of vanity
An ark of safety in the flood of vanities?
Romantic dreams of pleasure and earthly joy?
Beware of the world!
Entangling things?
A deadly enemy!
Moving shadows!
These boasted joys?
Earth Worm!
A worldly Christianity?
What trash does it appear!
Worldliness!
In the world, and yet not to be of the world!
Tinsel and toys
Let me not grovel
here below
Intoxicating to the unregenerate heart?
What a vain world it is!
A worldly spirit?
What a poor, uncertain, dying world is this!
Grovel in the dust to gather pebbles?
The pursuit of
worldly things?
The World Passes Away!
The dirt-scrapers of this world?
Oh, you killers of time!
Amusements?
A powerful and ever sleepless foe!
The largest slice of the well-sugared cake
The world and its
nothings!
There, on the other side, is my solitary soul
A worldly Christian?
If anyone loves the world
The sights and shows of this perishing world?
Choked by life's worries, riches and pleasures
A canker into the very core of your spirituality!
Theaters?
Quaff the muddy and turbulent streams of earth?
Miscalculation?
A worldly spirit will ever peep out
Separation from the ungodly world
The deadliest enemy of holiness?
This world?
A deadly snare, a
fatal rock!
Like a canker!
Toys! Sports and games for children!
We must not expect much in this base world.
We convert our blessings into poisons!
What phantoms they will chase!
The sad record of many a religious professor
The crying evil of our times!
They amass its gilded baubles
When it comes in the guise of a friend
The worldling's happiness
What trifles, what toys, what empty vanities
The sooner we reach this conclusion ourselves?
A high Christian attainment?
The world in the Christian
Shadowy!
This ungodly world!
The net of earthly, carnal, sensual engagements!
What shadows we are, and what shadows we pursue!
This poor, perishing world!
Crush this
fearful, powerful foe!
Sad blots!
How poor and unsatisfying!
The besetting sin of Christians
Cruel bondage!
RECREATION, SPORTS & AMUSEMENTS?
The Christian and the
world?
The insipid frivolities of the world!
Our idolatrous love of worldly things?
That painted harlot!
BUTTERFLY CHRISTIANITY?
Our inn?
Let us live more for
eternity!
COVETOUSNESS
It is not worth a straw!
Covetousness!
THE BAUBLES AND THE BUBBLES OF THIS WORLD
If we could see the Crucified One?
That dear, idolized creature
Not easily observed?
All the houses in this plague stricken land
A demon that has wrung the neck of many souls?
THE WORLD OR CHRIST?
Fill the soul with the world?
GO BACK FOR THE WORLD? NEVER!
They would not be so anxious to save money!
Would these satisfy you?
Christ in the heart, and the world
under the feet!
Our aim?
If the world satisfies you?
Three things that earthly riches can never do?
Paid in pure gold!
What the world offers to its devotees?
They cherish the viper, though it stings them to
death!
Only painted pleasures?
GO BACK? NEVER!
A gigantic fraud?
Below standard?
The devil's delight!
DESIRES FOR OTHER THINGS?
For a cup of pleasure?
Could you grasp the world like an orange
Forgetful of Jesus?
This entangling world?
A wilderness of 'bitter sweets'
The Christian and the world...
Your treasures?
Beware of pleasures!
This world brings only 'change'
SATAN'S CONVENTION?
Lasting and sure happiness!
Have nothing to do with them.
