LOL @Alive Your personal preference as a man, right? Actually the Lord Himself gave a nose ring to Zion - personified as a woman - in Ezekiel 16.12.

When you do construction work it is too dangerous. The first thing they show us in our shop book in high school is a photo of a man who had his finger ripped off from his wedding ring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps it is the heart with which one expresses the love for  their Lord that is noted, more so than who had the most to give out of their excess. The poorest of us can give their all by doing all they do  to the Glory of God. Wealth can be  as much an inhibiter to doing that as poverty, maybe more so. Guess no matter where anyone is on the ladder of earthly wealth, there is both grand opportunity and serious shame to contend with alway.  Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, you can not buy your way into Heaven, God looks at the heart. Jesus does teach us to give away all we have and then we will have treasures in Heaven. I have lots of stuff to give away. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Giving does not always help people and often it does more harm than good. There is a real art to giving in a way to really help others. Perhaps it is my own bias that I would rather associate with the poor than the rich. Listen, my beloved brethren: Has God not chosen the poor of this world to be rich in faith and heirs of the kingdom which He promised to those who love Him? James 2:5 Proverbs 13:7 One pretends to be rich, but has nothing; another pretends to be poor, yet has great wealth. Even we are told the love of money, is the root of all kinds of evil (1 Timothy 6:10) Jesus tells us blessed are the poor and the meek, they inherit the world.

I have a lot of stuff because it seems the more we give, the more we get in return. Yet it seems to me I was happier when I could fit all I owned in a backpack or a duffle bag. What we have is a burden if we have to carry it with us. Even though we adjust to carry the weight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
