Emerson once said to a young man with political aspirations: \u201cYoung man, you want to be president? You want to go to the White House? Ah, if you only knew how much of his manhood that man had to sell out to get there, you wouldn\u2019t want it. If you only knew how he must obey those who stand erect behind the throne and tell him what to do, you wouldn\u2019t want it!\u201d<\/p>\n
I do not make this as a political comment. No matter which party is in office or what man is in office, it is true that everything is defiled all over the world.\u2026<\/p>\n
My point is this: because of humanity\u2019s lost and defiled condition, money and influence and power generally bear the taint and touch of defilement upon them. This is in contrast to the believer\u2019s divine inheritance, pure and unsoiled.<\/p>\n
