James 2:5 Listen, my dear brothers and sisters: Has not God chosen those who are poor in the eyes of the world to be rich in faith and to inherit the kingdom he promised those who love him?

If you have not noticed the assortment of people in your local congregation, then I fear it is not a true representation of the church.

Christ chose people who were poor in earthly terms to make the biggest contributions to the church in spiritual terms – this was not by chance.

We set our minds on earthly goals and ways, forgetting that God crosses all boundaries and chooses people who are going to be faithful.

Give up chasing the world and follow God with a good conscience!
