Is poverty the world’s issue of “most pressing importance?”  No, I don’t think so.

Easy for you to say, you are not living in poverty.  True.

 

Does that mean I don’t have any responsibility to help change the situation?  No.  James 2:14-18

 

So, what IS the world’s most pressing issue?  Lostness.  Matthew 16:25-27

Have you ever heard of a “Blog Action Day”?  I’ll admit, it’s new to me.

The idea is for a bunch of people who blog to write a blog post on the same topic on the same day, thus raising awareness.  The upcoming topic is “poverty”.  Here’s a video that talks about it;

The video says poverty is the issue of “most pressing importance.”  I disagree, but that’s the cool thing about this, I don’t have to agree to participate.  Many voices, many perspectives.

Do you have a blog?  Want to jump in with your two cents?  Go ahead, I’ll be posting too!
