It is exactly what I have been talking about. We have a team at our church that is trying to expose people to the issue of extreme poverty. A resource that we have used is the book "Hope Lives" which is available through this site. Grace and Peace I am so glad you wrote this. It is exactly what I have been talking about.

How many children would that have fed? Including children in the US? How many children could have recieved the medical care that they needed? I had watch a "biography" show on Raymond Burr, the quoate was by some one else and he tried to live his life by. I am trying to live my life this way...If I die a rich man, then I have not lived it the way in which God intended.

The question is, how do we get the Church to start living it out? That's a huge hurdle. Imagine how powerful our country would be if churches across the nation decided to make helping the poor a priority...and got busy! Thanks everyone, for taking time to read the post…and to comment.

I constantly struggle with paring our lives down to the bare necessities...when in reality I know many of my "necessities" are "luxuries". We are blessed with so much...homes, clothes, food... yet in our greed we think we need more and that is what prevents us from giving. Amen…I agree with you!

I gotta agree with you on this whole post.A quote from Bono also mentions that only 6% of evangelical Christians polled think that Africa/AIDS is OUR problem and that when he read that it brought him to his knees..literally. 6%?? What are the other 94% thinking?? Living way past your means is definatly bad..I've actually had people tell me "I can't help because I don't have any money. I have a brand new house,loans on two newer cars and we HAVE to go out to eat and have great things.." *shaking head* May God have mercy on the poor while the vast majority of people do nothing!
