A thread like this illustrates the idealism that is central to the mission of Landover Baptist Church. Instead of just accepting things as they are, we are passionate about how they should be.
The poor have a perfectly respectable place in our society, to be poor. As our economy grows and those at the top become more wealthy the poor can look with pride at their contribution to this wealth.
All the Democratic politicians have some perverted idea we can make the poor better off by making the rich worse off. No. The poor should make the rich better off.
Isaiah 24:1-3 Behold, the LORD maketh the earth empty (2)...as the taker of usury, so with the giver of usury to him. (3) The land shall be utterly emptied, and utterly spoiled: for the LORD hath spoken his word.
