Week of December 1 2007
After reading the new testament and all Jesus says about spending ourselves on behalf of the poor, how come some people take that literally and give up their lifestyle and have very little but most of us stay in the lifestyle we are in when we read these words whether it is lower, middle or upper income? Compared to most of the world we are all considered rich right? Too long of a question?

I believe it is the individual Christian's conviction to give up material possessions. The poor we will have with us always, but it's definitely important to give to them in Jesus' name. Depending on their walk with the Lord, some Christians will give all they have and practically live with the poor. Others are called by God to live in a totally opposite way, like Christian millionaires who build their businesses and quietly give more proportionately than people with substantially less income. Those with the money have the responsibility to give. Christians who are not giving or who are doing so to get attention, are the ones not aware of or not living the Biblical principles and are missing out on the blessings.
