Yeah, I am obsessed

Postby Pastor Gary » April 17th, 2009, 10:52 am

I realize that I have been highly sensitized to the plight of the poor, to the point of positive obsession, but this video really moved me.

In "Crazy Love"

Postby Pastor Gary » April 17th, 2009, 11:06 am

Francis Chan wrote this in "Crazy Love" --

"If one hundred people represented the world's population, fifty-three of those would live on less than $2 a day. Do you realize that if you make $4,000 a month, you automatically make one hundred times more than the average person on this planet? ...Which is more messed up -- that we have so much compared to everyone else, or that we don't think we're rich? That on any given day we might flippantly call ourselves "broke" or "poor"? We are neither of those things. We are rich. Filthy rich."
