It has slain its thousands!

(John Mason's Spiritual Sayings)

"Do not love the world or anything in the
 world. If anyone loves the world, the love
 of the Father is not in him." 1 John 2:15

If the world is our portion here,
hell will be our portion hereafter.

Be not proud of riches but afraid of
them, lest they be as silver bars to
barricade the way to heaven!
  
As you love your souls, beware of the
world! It has slain its thousands and
tens of thousands!

What ruined Lot's wife? The world!

What ruined Judas? The world!

What ruined Simon Magus? The world!

What ruined Demas? The world!
