teach_ib View Profile History	poverty? Posted : 6 Jul, 2013 05:54 PM God empowers those willing and enables them to do what He gifts them with. Don't be too critical of the educated or even those who have been blessed by God. Job was a very rich man and walked rightly in God's eyes. Paul was very educated... It would be against God's will for people not to use the intelligence and abilities God has given them. It's how they handle the gifts. Remembering it's all in God's hands and we are all one disaster away from being poor. Back to the OP...poverty can be a humbling experience...not necessarily a deal breaker. What is he doing to move forward...is he like the servant in the Bible with the one talent who hid it? Or is he trying to find work, a better job to provide for his family? Lots of unknowns in the general question. Post Reply

Posted : 7 Jul, 2013 06:46 AM 1My brethren, have not the faith of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Lord of glory, with respect of persons. 2For if there come unto your assembly a man with a gold ring, in goodly apparel, and there come in also a poor man in vile raiment; 3And ye have respect to him that weareth the gay clothing, and say unto him, Sit thou here in a good place; and say to the poor, Stand thou there, or sit here under my footstool: 4Are ye not then partial in yourselves, and are become judges of evil thoughts? 5Hearken, my beloved brethren, Hath not God chosen the poor of this world rich in faith, and heirs of the kingdom which he hath promised to them that love him? 6But ye have despised the poor. Do not rich men oppress you, and draw you before the judgment seats? 7Do not they blaspheme that worthy name by the which ye are called? 3Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed be ye poor: for yours is the kingdom of God. 21Blessed are ye that hunger now: for ye shall be filled. Blessed are ye that weep now: for ye shall laugh. 22Blessed are ye, when men shall hate you, and when they shall separate you from their company, and shall reproach you, and cast out your name as evil, for the Son of man�s sake. 23Rejoice ye in that day, and leap for joy: for, behold, your reward is great in heaven:ven. 13But when thou makest a feast, call the poor, the maimed, the lame, the blind: 14And thou shalt be blessed; for they cannot recompense thee: for thou shalt be recompensed at the resurrection of the just.

teach_ib View Profile History	poverty? Posted : 7 Jul, 2013 01:31 PM It's not about wealth, it's about character. I know some wealthy and poor people that are not very good examples of Christians. I know some poor people who I would definitely consider over someone with wealth if they do not have Christian character. Don't be envious of what you don't have. There are some rich Christaians that use their wealth to honor God and there are poor Christians who give everythting they have in service and deeds. My father had little wealth...I qualified for free lunches, wore hand me downs or thrift shop clothes (unless me or my mom made them). My father worked hard to ensure my family had food, clothing and shelter. It's more about attitude and gratitude than about what's in the wallet..or not Post Reply

Posted : 9 Jul, 2013 11:52 AM considering men have been traditionally,socially,civicly,educated that they are to be the responsible leading "bread winners".... women have been educated that men who cannot bring more than You to the table ,should not be at the table... will humanity continue?

teach_ib View Profile History	poverty? Posted : 9 Jul, 2013 07:46 PM God has blessed me with a good paying job/career and I have dated men who make much less than me. I married a man that made much less than me. The marriage ended for several reasons...not because of how much money either of us made. I'm just as happy eating at a fast food restaurant or a picnic or just a snack on a walk if I'm with someone I care for. Not all women are worried about eating out at the finest restaurants...or require expensive gifts. A handmade card, wild flowers, etc can mean more to someone than something they know you can't afford...if the person doesn't appreciate what you can offer, sje's NOT the one for you. I personally am looking forward to the day I don't have to work...but until then, I will work in the career God opened to me. To do anything less would be a misuse of the abilities He gave to me.

hubbarddebra99 View Profile History	poverty? Posted : 12 Jul, 2013 09:27 AM how poor? I would not date a homeless man, because he needs to cocintrate on other things. that being said, it doesn't take a lot of money for me to be happy. a running car "even if old" a place to live enough to eat, and not asking to borrow money from me, is all I need.
