Jan 22, 2014 - Some people will say that helping almost every country develop to middle-income status will not solve all the world's problems and will even exacerbate some. But then he then says that the only way to take seriously that God identifies himself as being for the widow, orphan, and immigrant is that the church should equip and disciple individual Christians to be very charitable and known for their concern for the poor. And not just subsistence level or below, part-time or less, or mis-classified contract work.
