I am not an advocate, and I know a person who is, of being paupers. There is such a difference between trusting God and being extremely foolish. We are not to go live in cardboard boxes just for the sake of sacrificing or giving, but we must at least consider it. We need to learn to strip away the Western mindset that says "It's ok" and we have not even thought about it! <BR/><BR/>Anyway, since it is something that I am thinking about, changing my own habits and studying... there is a lot more I could say. :-)Jaclynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00563398572239008621noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11187376.post-30152267120614328002007-11-05T22:52:00.000-07:002007-11-05T22:52:00.000-07:00What a magnificent piece of literary flourish AND,...What a magnificent piece of literary flourish <BR/><BR/>AND, AND ...<BR/><BR/>the truth which lie behind it, grounded no less in the transforming power of the Word of God and the Spirit.<BR/><BR/>Wow, the spirit of conviction and of love and passion for all things spiritual ... don't know what else to say except to say that I feel ... your passion and conviction ...Augustinian Successorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04701412663559781833noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11187376.post-27521995188055665392007-11-05T22:31:00.000-07:002007-11-05T22:31:00.000-07:00That's the book I read on your recommendation, pro...That's the book I read on your recommendation, promptly followed by the Autobiography of George Muller.<BR/><BR/>Concerning money, yes, it's quite convicting. I'm still pairing back, but I don't know if I can ever reach the point you're talking about, as joyous as it sounds. But to say the least, I am encouraged to start supporting more missions work, beyond what I already do.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for the reminder!Andrew Vogelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12040307522679113377noreply@blogger.com
