Quote for this Lords Day….
I read this provocative and wonderful quote this morning:
“We build houses that we may have a habitation; not that we may make an ambitious display. What is beyond our wants, is superfluous and useless. Put on a sandal which larger than your foot! You will not endure it; for it is a hinderance to the step. Thus also a house larger than necessity requires, is an impediment to your progress towards heaven. Do you wish to build large and splendid houses? I forbid it not, but let it not be upon the earth! Build yourself tabernacles in heaven, and such that you may be able to receive others; tabernacles which never fall to pieces. Why are you mad about fleeting things; and things that must be left here? Nothing is more slippery than wealth. Today it is for you; tomorrow it is against you. It arms the eyes of the envious everywhere.” (Chrysostom – Homily 2 – Sermons to the church in Antioch).
