I just want to share a very thought-provoking and solemn quote from the Spirit of Prophecy that a read a couple of mornings ago.
  "I have seen an angel standing with scales in his hands weighing the thoughts and interest of the people of God, especially the young.  In one scale were the thoughts and interest tending heavenward; in the other were the thoughts and interest tending to earth. And in this scale were thrown all  the reading of storybooks, thoughts of dress and show, vanity, pride,etc.  Oh, what a solemn moment! The angels of God standing with scales, weighing  the thoughts of His professed children_ those who claim to be dead to the world and alive to God. The scale filled with thoughts of earth, vanity, and pride quickly went down, notwithstanding weight after weight rolled from the scale. The one the thoughts and interest tending to heaven went quickly up as the other went down, and oh, how light it was! I can relate this as I saw it; but never can I give the solemn and vivid impression stamped upon my mind, as I saw the angel with the scales weighing the thoughts and interest of the people of God. Said the angel:"Can such enter heaven? No,no,never. Tell them the hope that they now possess is vain, and unless they speedily repent, and obtain salvation, they must perish."
  This is something to think about! I know that I need to spend more time with my Savior.  May we never let the love of this cheap, and sinful world steal our hearts!
