Didn't the widow put in the offering her last 2 coins, and have nothing left but poverty ahead on?
Did not Jesus commend her that she gave every thing she had, while others gave out of their abundance?
Didn't He by using this example, disciple His disciples in lesson about giving to the Kingdom of GOD?
Ever see the promises all across God's Word for His servants to be blessed?
Abraham was one of the richest men in the world in his day, and it wasn't even his idea to be wealthy as he never asked for that, it was God's idea!
Of course there are poor in this world, but that does not mean the Lord wants His people to be poor.
Of course there are those that take that to extremes and claim we should all be multi-millionaires but that does not mean the Lord doesn't want all of His people to have their needs met.
If you have never studied what God says about meeting His people's needs... ALL of their needs, including while here on Club Earth, you should look in to that.
And then remember that an unjust balance is an abomination unto the Lord (Proverbs 11:1)
The claim we should be poor is in the extreme in the ditch on one side and is wrong.
The claim we should be multi-millionaires is in the extreme in the ditch on the other side and is wrong.
