Habakkuk 2:9\u00a0 <\/span>\u201cWoe to him who gets evil gain for his house, to set his nest on high, to be safe from the reach of harm! You have devised shame for your house\u00a0 <\/span>by cutting off many peoples; you have forfeited your life. For the stone will cry out from the wall, and the beam from the woodwork respond.<\/p>\n

Deuteronomy 7:25-26<\/b><\/span><\/a>\u00a0\u00a0<\/b>\u00a0\u00a0The carved images of their gods you shall burn with fire. You shall not covet the silver or the gold that is on them or take it for yourselves, lest you be ensnared by it, for it is an abomination to the LORD your God.\u00a0\u00a0And you shall not bring an abominable thing into your house and become devoted to destruction like it. You shall utterly detest and abhor it, for it is devoted to destruction.<\/p>\n

Job 20: 19-20<\/b><\/span><\/a>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/b>\u00a0\u00a0For he has crushed and abandoned the poor; he has seized a house that he did not build.\u00a0\u00a0\u201cBecause he knew no contentment in his belly, he will not let anything in which he delights escape him.<\/p>\n

Obadiah 1:4<\/b><\/span><\/a>\u00a0\u00a0<\/b>\u00a0\u00a0Though you soar aloft like the eagle, though your nest is set among the stars, from there I will bring you down, declares the LORD.<\/p>\n

Proverbs 18:11-12<\/b><\/span><\/a>\u00a0\u00a0<\/b>\u00a0\u00a0A rich man’s wealth is his strong city, and like a high wall in his imagination.\u00a0\u00a0Before destruction a man’s heart is haughty, but humility comes before honor.<\/p>\n

Psalms 52:7<\/b><\/span><\/a>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/b>\u00a0\u00a0\u201cSee the man who would not make God his refuge, but trusted in the abundance of his riches and sought refuge in his own destruction!\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

The lusts of the flesh, the lust of the eye, and the pride of life are the entangling snares of men. When our hearts are given over to these lusts it is taken captive by a very jealous and powerful master.\u00a0 <\/span>These lusts are a thick dark staining clay.\u00a0 <\/span>Those who think they can handle it are easily dirtied and soiled with a stain that is very hard to wash from the heart. They will find not find happiness and satisfaction in this clay no matter how they mold it. Seeking after an abundance of wealth is the ruin of many. And what fools are those that burden themselves with continual care about it; with a great deal of guilt in getting, saving, and spending it, and with a heavy account which they must give another day! They overload themselves with this thick staining clay, and soon do not even notice how badly their soul is stained.\u00a0 <\/span>They live in fear of not having enough and run blindly through life on a path that leads straight to hell. When we give in to covetousness and lust of the eye and allow it to take root in our hearts it will bring along with it troubles, confusion, fear, loneliness, and dissatisfaction, and brings darkness so dark that only the Word of God can shine through. \u00a0 <\/span>If we think for one moment that we can manage these lusts of staining clay and not be stained by them we are certainly void of the wisdom and knowledge of God\u2019s Word.\u00a0 <\/span>There are no greater slaves in the world than those who are slaves to worldly pursuits and lusts. And what comes of it? They will find life very disappointing and without lasting purpose. There is nothing in worldly lusts that honors and glorifies God.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
