O the atheism, the ignorance, the sottish barbarism that is to be found even in those that the world applaud, and even worship, because of their lands and estates, who yet are not able to give any account of their faith? A poor leather-coat Christian will shame and catechize a hundred of them.

Elon Musk is worth $250 billion, and Taylor Swift has legions of people worshipping her at football stadium altars every night, but what does any of this matter when their brief lives are over, and they don’t know God? Why are these people held in such high esteem? We should admire the man who walks with God, regardless of his worldly status, because his treasure is heavenly and eternal (Mat. 6:20).
