Was it that this condition of poverty was an inevitable outcome sin or was it that the human condition would not comprehend that poverty was not God's doing. ? Furthermore, are we not all poor, who do not comprehend what is the exceeding greatness of his will toward us. Could you not say, that the poor are oppressed of their own refusal to learn of the goodness of God toward them. It is all there if they really want it.

If anyone has Direct TV, channel network NRB, has Grace To You on Sunday morning...I often try to record it when I remember, so I looked to record this sunday's sermon and came to find out the sermon is called, "Abusing the Poor", thought that was really cool...so if anyone has the opportunity hope you can watch it.
