Philippians 3:8 - 8What is more, I consider everything a loss compared to the surpassing greatness of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord, for whose sake I have lost all things. I consider them rubbish, that I may gain Christ.
I believe most Christians vastly fall short of the standard of living that is required of a servant of Jesus.
At the very least, many western Christians still find it appropriate to have a big house, nice car, etc etc etc, when rather they're calling is to a simple life of worship of God. Too many Christians feel that it's ok to twist the words of the bible to suit their desires. I usually wouldn't care, but if everyone is twisting the words to mean different things and different standards then the bible is rendered useless by the vast amount of rubbish interpretations out there.
