They are mere muck-worms!

"Whose end is destruction, whose God is their belly, and whose glory is in their shame, who think about earthly things." Philippians 3:19

Paul here cuts off thousands of nominal Christians, as those "who mind earthly things." This means that they have no taste, no appetite or relish for divine things—no affections fixed on things above. Their mind is on earthly things. They are mere muck-worms —ever groping and grovelling after money and gain!
