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
(J. C. Philpot, "Israel Blessed and Kept" 1852)
This might be intended for pastors, but how much more for the layman or the seminarian or professor?
