Worldliness
Matthew 13:7-22
And some fell among thorns; and the thorns sprung up, and choked them:


In gold there is a halter: in silver there is bird-lime; in the farm there is a bond; in the love of the world there is a chain. While we search for gold we are strangled; while for silver we stick fast; while we seize upon the farm, we are taken prisoners.

( Ambrose.)
