Riches and Poverty and Everything In Between!

The following quotes are from the late Dr. Louis Smede (1921-2002):

"Maybe the prophets wanted the rich to invite the poor into their homes, maybe they wanted the poor to be befriended and supported by gentle arms of friends. Maybe friendliness. But at least justice, at least the rights of the poor respected."

And

"A baby born, through no choice of her own, into a poverty-stricken family has a right to nourishing food, a warm bed, and loving care. But as she grows, she also has a need to flourish as a human being. She needs education and books, music, access to dentists and doctors, and a chance to develop her gifts for creative work."

Excerpt from this article:

"Just as a society that ranks security over liberty loses both, a society that attributes a higher value to social benefits than to wealth creation ends up with neither wealth nor benefits."

Global Inequality Explodes: 26 Ultra-Wealthy Billionaires Now Have As Much Money as Poorest  3.8 Billion People - thedailysheeple.com

Excerpt from this article:

"Today, almost half the world lives on less than $5.50 a day, and approximately 795 million people 'do not have enough food.' And even in a 'wealthy country' like the United States, the gap between the rich and the poor is the largest that it has been since the 1920s, and more than half a million Americans are homeless right now."

"Go to now, ye rich men, weep and howl, for the miseries that shall come upon you." - James 5:1 (Audio)

Did John Calvin Write the Five Points of Calvinism?



"That old truth that Calvin preached, that Augustine preached, that Paul preached, is the truth that I must preach today, or else be false to my conscience and my God. I cannot shape the truth; I know of no such thing as paring off the rough edges of doctrine. John Knox's gospel is my gospel. That which thundered through Scotland must thunder through England again." (From Iain Murray's The Forgotten Spurgeon)

If you're looking for a couple of short books on Calvinism, I strongly recommend The Five Point of Calvinism by Herman C. Hanko, and The Forgotten Spurgeon, by Iain Murray.

But what about a Christophobe? To find the answer to that question, listen to the following sermon by Dr. David P. Murray:

Christophobia, by Dr. David P. Murray

The text for this sermon is Luke 8:35 (Audio):

"Then they went out to see what was done, and came to Jesus, and found the man, out of whom the devils were departed, sitting at the feet of Jesus, clothed and in his right mind."
