I am richer than 85 percent of the world
Can we even comprehend the depth of riches that each one of us is awash in because we live in this country? Is it not disgusting to know that a part-time job will make you more money than more than half of the world’s population?
The following is a fun fact from the website:
DID YOU KNOW..?
Three decades ago, the people in well-to-do countries were 30 times better off than those in countries where the poorest 20 percent of the world’s people live. By 1998, this gap had widened to 82 times.
I don’t know what to do with this.
The following is the kind of worship God does not want:
Bring no more vain offerings;
incense is an abomination to me.
New moon and Sabbath and the calling of convocations–
I cannot endure iniquity and solemn assembly.
Your new moons and your appointed feasts
my soul hates;
they have become a burden to me;
I am weary of bearing them.
- Isaiah 1:13-14 (emphasis mine [duh])
And following from the same context is the kind of worship God does want:
Seek justice,
correct oppression;
bring justice to the fatherless,
plead the widow’s cause.
- Isaiah 1:17
Now what do we do?
