Poverty. [ Ephesians 2 v 8-10]

In 1Timothy 6 v7,we read, ''We brought nothing into the world,and it is
certain that we cannot take anything out of the world''.These words are often read at a burial  service,they remind us that all worldly wealth is left behind
when we die.These words bring a challenge to all of us,reminds us that we should not place to much store on material things,that true happiness does
not come with money.Yet that does not mean that there is virtue in poverty,
I receive information from many places in this world were so many dear people are suffering from the results of poverty.There is a mission I know,
and it is called,'The Medical Missionary News',it has kept that title,because
it tells you two things they are involved in supporting the physical and
spiritual needs of mankind.As someone has said,we neglect either to our cost,good works,and the good news of the gospel must always go hand in hand.The challenge for all of us who are Christians is to be generous in supporting ,those whom God lays on our hearts,we cannot give to every cause,but we can help some,and we should.
                                 A  prayer.
Dear God help us, to help those who are in need,and help to never loose
sight of mankinds need to hear the Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ ,Amen.
