Don't care in the slightest. I have found that most are not defenders of the faith (the gospel) but defenders of a particular ideology (denominations). I follow Christ, not an ideology. I will let no man limit the liberty to which I have been called.
I am in no position to justify myself and nether are you. Ether we have been justified or we have not. Justification comes from God in the sufficient sacrifice of His Son. No additions or subtractions.
Loving God and loving your neighbor does not save any more than being rich or poor. We love God and love our neighbor because we are saved and do so regardless of our wealth or lack thereof.
| Dangers of Wealth By Charles Haddon Spurgeon O, it is noble to see a man lifted up into the high places of wealth and position, made to wear a crown and scarlet robe, and yet for all that walking humbly with his God and fulfilling his duty without a flaw, even as those do who have not such high things to try them. I read this week of a vessel at sea which was overtaken by a storm, and a mountainous wave, a very alp of water, went right over it, putting out the engine fires at once, and sweeping away the wheel and the steering house, so that the vessel lay like a log in the trough of the sea. Now many a man has been like that, a great mass of wealth and prosperity has come upon him, put out the fires of his former zeal, taken away all the steerage of his soul, and he has lain like a log tossed up and down between the waves of worldliness and pride, and has become a total wreck. |
