(Php 3:18) “(For many walk, of whom I have told you often, and now tell you even weeping, that they are the enemies of the cross of Christ: (19)  Whose end is destruction, whose God is their belly, and whose glory is in their shame, who mind earthly things.)”   Notice it is the unsaved, and in this case, false brethren, who “mind earthly things”. In other words, their heart is upon the “things” of this earth. We have been admonished to, (Col_3:2)  “Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth”. Jesus told us (Mat 6:19) “Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth,…. (20) But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven,…. (21) For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.”  Could it be that the reason we are not actively looking forward to our heavenly home and are clinging to this earth is because we “mind earthly things”?
