Do not be miserable money-grubbers or sordid earthworms. By Charles Spurgeon Colossians chapter 3 verses 1 through 4 Since you have been raised with Christ, set your hearts on things above, where Christ is seated at the right hand of God. Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things. for you died and your life is now hidden with Christ in God. When Christ, who is your life, appears, then you also will appear with Him in glory. Beloved, may the Spirit of God help you to rise to heavenly-mindedness.

Do not be miserable money-grubbers or sordid earthworms. Do not be pleasure hunters and novelty seekers. Do not set your affections upon these childish toys which will be so soon broken up. Be no more children, but followers of the Lord Jesus. Find your joy in Jesus, your wealth in Jesus, your honor in Jesus, your everything in Jesus. Be in the world, but not of it. Sit loose, I entreat you, to this poor, fleeting world. Get a tighter grip of the glorious world to come, so shall the love of Jesus fill your heart. Throw your anchor upward into the soothing sea of divine love, and not downward into a troubled ocean.

Anchor yourselves to the eternal throne, and never be divided even in thought from the indescribable love of Jesus your Savior. It is your wondrous privilege, brethren, to lean your heads and hearts on the bosom of Jesus until the day breaks and the shadows flee away. Dear friends, I urge you as pilgrims and strangers in the world to abstain from sinful desires which war against your soul
