Is It WRONG to be a Cultured Individual? - Herbert W Armstrong - January 1966

Herbert W Armstrong

Personal from Herbert W Armstrong - IS IT WRONG to be a cultured individual? Is it wrong - is it extravagance - to purchase quality things? Some people pride themselves on their lack of culture and good breeding. Some people actually brag: "We're just poor folks." They spurn good-quality merchandise, saying, "That's too rich for my blood." They shop for bargain prices, condemn better quality as "EXTRAVAGANCE." They accuse a well-dressed person of being "stuck up." Does God love the poor and hate the rich? People speak of "God's poor" Must one be poor economically, ignorant educationally, uncouth socially, in order to please God? It's true Jesus said "How hardly shall they that have riches enter into the Kingdom of God!" But He also clarified His meaning, adding, "how hard is it for them that trust in riches to enter into the Kingdom of God!" - Information Supplied By: Herbert W Armstrong Library
