Fellow man Quote by Vaughn Heppner
““Trifles cannot satisfy our longings. Sensual pleasures, power over our fellow man, the acquisition of things, these are babbles, toys, trifles. Our spirits yearn to know Jehovah. Thus to place these mundane things before me as enticing items is really to insult me. That is why I say it is folly to run after anything else than for what Jehovah has created us for.””
