” When the world patronizes the Church, the Church will need tenfold grace to maintain her spirituality, just as on an ocean steamer any speed beyond a certain limit is only attained by an expenditure of power altogether out of proportion to the increase of the distance traveled. ‘Woe unto you, when all men shall speak well of you!’ (Luke 6:26). Such praise is not for good soldiers of Jesus Christ! If the enemy begins to love one of the king’s generals, that king may half suspect that his general is turning traitor. God save us from such treachery! ‘Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him.’ (1 John 2:15).”
~ Charles Spurgeon, 1891, Sermon 2225
