LOL you must be a southern baptist victimized by a "poverty doctrine" ... yet most of those preachers have those $1000 suits ... LOL Abraham, Job and many many others were very very wealthy. It is the intent of the heart and that matters not the size of your wallet. Their are many many despicable "poor people" who will no doubt not make the varsity team. Child Molesters, rapist, etc. has no economic preference. Money is not the root of all evil, the lack of money is just as bad if not worse. The poor Arab youths in Britain and France, disgruntled, poor and angry that is a classic example and haven of recruiters for Radical Islam. In fact, poverty is the means many times, that creates the situations for radical hate groups to form and justifies all manner of evil. We need to eradicate poverty and turn our "swords into plowshares". But wars and bloodshed will be the labor pains before the birth of that new age, unfortunately. Read the word ... all of the word .... and try to understand events in light of that. Was it not Hitler who preyed on the poverty of Germans and blamed the Jews for their plight that created the tolerance for and the horrific behaviour known as the Holocaust? Sound familiar? Holocaust ...part II ... Coming to a theater near you. Who would of thought we could ever be so close to that mindset again after it was exposed to the world. Yet the President of IRAN denies it and has vowed to Exterminate the Jews. And is in the process ... of enriching Uranium. Not just for light bulbs for his peaceful people ... But to kill, destroy and bring about his version of Armageddon. His is not words of political posturing, but very real threats that he intends on fulfilling. Read ... "The last word on the Middle East" by Derek Prince (now deceased) for a crystal clear prophetic view of today's conflict in Israel.
