That which is highly esteemed among men by JC Philpott

That which is highly esteemed among men is an abomination in the sight of God. Luke 16 15

The pride, the ambition, the pleasures, the amusements, in which we see thousands and tens of thousands engaged, and sailing down the stream into a dreadful gulf of eternity, are all an abomination in the sight of God.

Where are such things as faith, hope, love, humility, brokenness of heart, tenderness of conscience, contrition of spirit, sorrow for sin, self-loathing, self-abasement, looking to Jesus, taking up the cross, denying oneself, walking in the straight and narrow path that leads to eternal life, in a word, the power of godliness, these things are despised by all, and by none so much as mere heady professors who have a name to live while dead.
