Are you seeking great things for yourself?

(J. C. Philpot)
 
Oh, how many ministers do I see led by . . .
  ambition,
  pride,
  self-interest, or
  covetousness!

How few have singleness of eye to God's glory!
"Are you seeking great things for yourself?
 Don't do it!" Jeremiah 45:5

Ministers often seek . . .
  great gifts,
  great eloquence,
  great knowledge of mysteries,
  great congregations,
  great popularity and influence.

"Are you seeking great things for yourself?
 Don't do it!" Jeremiah 45:5
