Great things

"And seekest thou great things for thyself? seek them not: for, behold, I will bring evil upon all flesh, saith the LORD: but thy life will I give unto thee for a prey in all places whither thou goest." - Jeremiah 45:5

Brother Chris may I add:

Be of the same mind one toward another. Mind not high things, but condescend to men of low estate. Be not wise in your own conceits.

So if a person Doesn’t know any poor people they are hanging out in the wrong places.

Or, if a person is not willing to become poor for Christ's sake, they are staking their acceptability with God on the wrong criteria.

Agreed and don’t it make you wonder why every one is taking up money.

And the Pharisees also, who were covetous, heard all these things and they derided him. And he said unto them, Ye are they which justify yourselves before men but God knoweth your hearts for that which is highly esteemed among men is abomination in the sight of God.

Thanks to both of you :)
