Life in Earnest

Either Christianity is the grossest deception that was ever palmed upon mankind, or else it is one which deserves the whole life and force and strength of every man who has been blessed by it!

In the light of eternity, all things except for serving God, are mere child’s play, mere theatricals, mere masquerading. They are but the performance of a carnival, the jests of a comedy, the laughter of a pantomime. It is only ‘serving God’ that is doing immortal work; it is only living for Christ that is living at all!
