Excerpt from The Church's One Foundation: And Other SermonsOur text, like many other passages of Holy Writ, is one which, through the false interpretation put upon it by corrupt human nature, has been made to feed and foster the very propensity which it was given to subdue.The selfish love of the natural man is inclined to arrogate to itself supreme dominion over others - do minion over their souls as well as their bodies. It craves all power in heaven and on earth. And the rea son is, because self-love, Viewed as to its interior and real quality, is the love of being as God - the love of absolute supremacy - the love of owning no superior and of being subject to no control. And of all the evil lusts of the natural man, the lust of dominion is the most dangerous, the most infernal. It comes from the lowest and worst of all the hells, and tends to drag all who receive and cherish it down to the same dark abyss.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
