My point on this issue was that when we were at Poplar we had superb support from one or two member sof the church that were pretty well off, without them our ministry to our locality would have suffered.Gordonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06923211288631648610noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6145971.post-60531652195154146282007-06-22T19:55:00.000+00:002007-06-22T19:55:00.000+00:00Thanks RonnieThere will always be poor people in t...Thanks Ronnie<BR/><BR/><I>There will always be poor people in the land. Therefore I command you to be openhanded toward your brothers and toward the poor and needy in your land</I>. Deuteronomy 15:11 seems to be what Jesus is quoting in Matthew.<BR/><BR/>Of course we help the middle class businessman - but our calling is to be 'open handed' to the poor - we need to be facing the right direction.Gordonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06923211288631648610noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6145971.post-33309788516465145222007-06-22T10:12:00.000+00:002007-06-22T10:12:00.000+00:00I suppose it shows the gap between what people thi...I suppose it shows the gap between what people think we are doing and what, in reality, we are doing. It is disheartening the way that Salvationists make apologietics for our calling to the poor. <BR/><BR/>This attitude works itself out in the fact that we'd rather pay people to work with the poor for us rather than do it ourselves.

I could see the point that was trying to be made from the man in my group, and the point that Jesus makes about helping the poor, but what about the professional people who end up at Greig House? Sorry, I should post about this on my own blog.Rhonda Hayeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02624846401155121497noreply@blogger.com
