ONE ALLEGIANCE
Around the Year with Emmet Fox
May 26
Many accept these facts theoretically,
but are less than halfhearted
when it comes to their practical application,
and this vacillation lands them in difficulties
that always follow upon inconsistency and weakness.
To try to rest sometimes upon the material basis,
and sometimes upon the spiritual,
is to try to serve two masters,
and this of course cannot be done.
“Ye cannot serve God and mammon”
Matthew 6:24
Man is essentially spiritual,
the image and likeness of God,
and therefore,
he is made for the spiritual basis,
and he cannot really succeed on any other.
