The game of life for the human soul

"Cares, riches and pleasures, all are used by satan in playing the game of life for the human soul." Christ's Object Lessons p.15 E.G.W.
Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world. 1 John 2:15,16
