Camels, the rich, and eyes of needles spring to mind.  looks like that other thread here, the Characteristics of NT Christians one otta be replete with admonitions of poverty.

Yes actually, the bible says you must be poor in spirit to be 'blessed'. I hate quoting the bible but here:
"Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven."
