If this is not our world with all its hollow powers, to make a god of gold it no concern of ours. The latest gains fill all the news; we need not choose to wear such chains. If goods are not our goal and all our wealth will rust, I dare not lose my soul by scrabbling for the dusts. Not heaven nor earth are up for sale; coins are no scale of human worth. If we are not our own bur purchased at a price, to follow Christ alone is no great sacrifice. In him, if we hold nothing back, we have no lack; he sets us free. If Christ is all our praise, our heritage, our health, we need not waste our days in struggling after wealth. And those who give their all, and more, will not be poor but start to live.
