*MATERIALISM
Materialism is a lesser god (idol) that we settle for.
Our task is to see that this great revolution which has come to the human race is not a material revolution, but a spiritual revolution. We have failed to give God the credit. We have setup false gods and woshipped them idolatrously. Spiritual enlightenment is always available, it has only to be perceived. We must see that the missing link in our wondrous new society is the link that gives the glory to God and accepts the government of God. (The Spiritual Revolution by Erwin Canham, Editor in chief of The Christian Science Monitor)
Materialism is the Babylon in Revelation. (Beginning of the End, p163)
How easy it is to get caught up in materialism - and how it can hold us back from our spiritual focus! By your interests getting caught up with things, then those things begin to own you! (Awakening, p17)
