The world's trinity!

By Thomas Reade

(You will find it helpful to Listen to the Audio, as you read the text below.)

Everything to which we give the heart, becomes our idol.

Pleasure, wealth and power—form the world's trinity!

Before these idols, the world bows down in adoration.

All their thoughts, time, and talents are employed in their service.

No sacrifice is deemed too great to obtain possession of these vanities.

Alas! thousands,
  who call themselves Christians,
  who have been baptized in the name of Christ,
   and who make a nominal profession of Christianity
—worship these idols which Satan has set up!

"Dear children, keep yourselves from idols!" 1 John 5:21
