Wonderful quote from Andy Bathgate on 1John2:12-17
"At best the world offers a plaque or a statue. All our desires for reputation, legacy and instant gratification are ungodly and transient. The Christian perspective is well summarised in a rephrasing of the 10th commandment: 'Thou shalt not need to covet,' when we find contentment in doing the will of God."
