"Set your affection on things above,
not on things on the earth."
Colossians 3:2 (AKJV)
"Except the affections of the soul be supremely fixed on God;
unless it be the leading and governing desire and primary pursuit to
possess his favour and promote his glory, we are considered as having transferred our fealty (allegiance) to an usurper, and as being in fact revolters from our lawful sovereign. God requires to set up his throne in the heart,
and to reign in it without rival.
- "A Practical View of Christianity", William Wilberforce 1797
