With so many seeking to become rich through various investments, it is lamentable that so few are seeking this wisdom…
“If I could preach a sermon of two to you on how you could supply your wants and how to obtain wealth, I have no question that our church could be filled with people. This would be the case if we were to teach poor people how they could get rich, to teach those who are disgraced how they could get honor, to teach men how they could have good and prosperous journeys, and the like. But I am teaching you a lesson from God rather than man and this time, and that is much better. It is a better lesson for one to learn how to honor God in fullness than it is to learn how he can get full.”
—Jeremiah Burroughs (1599-1646, citation from “Contentment, Prosperity, and God’s Glory”, Reformation Heritage Books, p. 10)
