(Mark 4:19) And the cares of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches, and the lusts of other things entering in, choke the word, and it becometh unfruitful.-------------------(Mark 8:36) For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?.-----------------(Romans 12:2) And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.--------------(1 Corinthians 3:19) For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it is written, He taketh the wise in their own craftiness.=======God desires 1st place in our hearts.========love in Christ Sherril..
