Be generous

God promised us that when we stop being generous that he would pour out poverty on us. In the lsat ten years there has been a war on the poor. People say nastier and nastier things about the homeless. Do they know what it is like to be homeless? If people had half the problems that the homeless do, they wouldn't say anything at all. There seems to be more and more reasons(excuses) to justify oppressing the downtrodden. This is a very hard economic time in this country. There are wealthy people that have lost all their money. No one at this present time is immune to poverty. I am amazed at all the Nazi styled propaganda that is surfacing about the needy. Generosity is a fruit of the spirit, or at least a reflection of it. If you love God, this behavior would be one of the traits that one should expect to see from you. You might be homeless soon. Are you helping to bash your own head? This country is shedding several thousand jobs a month right now. The hiring is far more selective even for the lowest paying, crappy, eleven hour a week job. Enjoy your job and your riches. You may not have any of it tomorrow. The government is having to bail out your lack of generosity. If you don't want to be taxed, then shut up and be generous with your money. Will there be anyone to help you if the world collapses? I pray that you learn how bad it is to be broke. You be amazed how cool God is when you don't have an I-phone or a video game system. Perhaps you should fast from all that, until everyone else can catch up.
