This past Wednesday night the youth talked about the "least of these." There are so many powerful verses in scripture that command Christians to minister to the poor. I asked the youth if they consider themselves "rich" or "poor"? I also posed the question, "is it a sin to live in excess?" Each of us MUST examine the scriptures to see how Matthew 25:34-40 or 2 Corinthians 8:9 applies to our lives. This is a big struggle for me! Last year our family began adopting a Compassion International Child. This has been a big blessing. I encourage EVERYONE to do it. It's $42 a month and the money supplies Shukuru education, clothes, food and most importantly she has the opportunity to learn about Jesus. Please continue wrestling with the scriptures that TELL us to go out and minister among the poor.
