Bible Note: I think that you're exactly right when you say that us as Christians glorify God through giving to the poor. I'd love to see the world without poverty though. I don't think God wants anyone to suffer lack, the problem is that so often, our theology is so far of to one extremity or the other that we miss the basic point. God does not want His children to suffer a lack, the fact that there are poor among us just shows how we as Christians get too concerned with other things and forget to preach the gospel and love our neighbor. For example, in the Dark Ages, the Church of the was so concerned with protecting it's doctrine that not one missionary was sent out. It's sad to think of the number of souls that were lost due to the Church's preoccupation with technicalities and lack of love. Jesified |
