Laments about the present state of the Christian church add weight to his expositions of the gospel. He describes several categories of false Christians. Like me, he is very concerned about us being distracted by the vanities and anxieties of this age. I never heard before that we should always "have heaven at heart." He also emphasized the fear of the Lord which I appreciated very much.
At one point in chapter two, my alarm bells started going off because he seemed to be contradicting the whole rest of the book by supporting prosperity gospel, because he said it is God's will for us to prosper in this life. But he saturated this idea with so many warnings about mammon, it's clear he is of the same mind as John Wesley, who famously advised us to "earn all you can, save all you can (thrift in spending, not storing treasures), and give all you can." The author was saying we should prosper in income and productivity, not in lifestyle or nest egg.
