Those who dwell wit...I ABSOLUTELY agree with Peter. Those who dwell within the Body of the Christ are richer than the Bill Gates and George Soros's of the world. For the Lord Jesus will REDEEM those with Faith while the rich shall descend into the Pit.<br /><br />The path to the Lord often is painful, but the rewards are sweet. Consider the Africans who were taken to the New World, and tilled in the fields. Yes, their life and that of their children was painful. But, the Bible is clear that slavery does not prevent the Lord's mercy and grace. And the Word was given to these Africans, who rose up and embraced Our Holy Father and His Son. <br /><br />While back in Africa, those who took gold and trinkets for their fellow natives continued to worship their idols and now must surely regret this choice in fires of Hell.Rick Yushenkohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07284998094745452679noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2257114463060999037.post-40721955206323547682010-10-09T15:22:52.020-04:002010-10-09T15:22:52.020-04:00poor is anyone who does not no that jesus is the s...poor is anyone who does not no that jesus is the son of god .the saviour of mankind.religion is of no use you need to no jesus is our saviour no one can reach god unless he goes through jesus.america calls itself a christian country but it is sick with everyone turning to anything but god to get healead.jesus turn to god and he will heal you . anyone else is an imposter .amen come lord jesuspeter.james.smith@hotmail.co.uknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2257114463060999037.post-87356834505464222552008-10-10T00:12:00.000-04:002008-10-10T00:12:00.000-04:00Very good stuff. Those are some things I have bee...Very good stuff. Those are some things I have been thinking about for some time and wanting to do more about. I do think it's a very interesting notion we have here in America about our entitlements, when in reality there is not nearly a thing we are entitled to. We need to take a closer look at the biblical perspective on such things, like you were pointing out.<BR/>I'm not advocating that we all give away everything we own and go live in huts (as I'm sure you're not either) but we do need to honestly assess what it means to live godly in respect to ownership and possession of things. Do I really need a bigger tv? Do I really need a new car, what's so wrong with the one I have. Contentment is almost a foreign word in America right now. I know I've been guilty, but I'm working on it.Atticushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06935828986478939365noreply@blogger.com
