#fightpoverty — Public Fediverse posts

Before travelling to East Timor, I went to a bank to exchange euros for US dollars. The clerk said to me:
‘Are you going to spend Christmas or New Year's Eve in Times Square?’
‘No,’ I replied, ‘there probably isn't room for the Baby Jesus to be born there.’ I'm going to spend Christmas a few metres from the Tíbar rubbish dump, on which many families still depend, with many boys and girls who need to be sent to school so that one day they can try to break out of the cycle of poverty.
She swallowed hard and wished me a good trip.

#NASW urges states to act after Congress passes harmful cuts hurting families & social workers. Protect Medicaid, SNAP & vital programs. We’ll keep fighting for policies that meet basic needs & dignity for all.

Thomas Scott co-founded the Church Missionary Society. Britain exceled at adultery, luxury, and debauchery, and shed innocent blood around the world for greed.

He wrote a widely used bible commentary. Today, would we find it untoward for a preacher to bring up national sins (involving guns or $)?

How can you refrain from adultery, luxury, and debauchery, especially as drives demands that harm people in other countries?

William Jay, English Congregationalist, writes on Jesus’ ascension. Jesus feels for us, and Jesus displays his gentleness through the relief of wants through His followers.

Some don’t preach a gentle Jesus. Others might see the harshness of Christians and view this as an indication of Christ’s character. Again, Jay says the gentle nature of Christ shown in gentleness of us.

How can you be more gentle to those in need?
