Mat 6:24 No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.
Mark Anthony yoked two lions to his chariot; but there
are two lions no man has ever yoked together...the lion of the tribe of Judah,
and the lion of the pit.
These can never go together.
Two opinions you may
hold in politics, perhaps, but then you will be despised by everyone, unless
you are of one opinion or the other, and act as an independent man.
But two
opinions in the matter of soul-religion you cannot hold.
If God be God,
serve him, and do it thoroughly; but if this world is God, serve it, and
make no profession of religion.
If you are a worldling, and think the things
of the world are the best, serve them; devote yourself to them, do not be
kept back by conscience; ignore your conscience, and run into sin.
But
remember, if the Lord is your God, you cannot have Baal too; you must have
one thing or the other.
No man can serve two masters.
If God is served, he
will be a master; and if the devil be served, he will not be long before he
will be a master;
And "you cannot serve two masters."
Oh! Be wise, and do
not think that the two can be mingled together.
~Charles Spurgeon~
