1 Tim 6:6 "There is great gain in godliness with contentment; for we brought nothing into the world, and we cannot take anything out of the world; but if we have food and clothing, with these we shall be content."

Poverty in life can truly lead to humility, which is the basis for accepting God's mercy. I would suggest that perhaps the Church itself tries to practice what it preaches in that regard. I think the Lord would be somewhat happier with your teaching if you presented it surrounded by less opulence and wealth.
