Exloring Life Eternal

Beggars are ignored if they curse those who bless them.
Beggars will never go hungry if they beg from the King.

Comments in response to notes that can be found @ http://www.DavidMays.org on the book "Lead Us Into Temptation."

“If you just play by a few rules you’ll have more things—if that’s what you want—than any generation before. What are these rules? Simple. Finish high school, get a job, don’t get pregnant or get someone pregnant before you finish high school, don’t become addicted to drugs, and you can make it in America.” (12-13)

“But watch out! Deviate from these rules by just a hair and you can fall over the edge. Drop out of school, do some jail time, stay unemployed in the inner-city, take a drug stronger than marijuana for longer than a week, or attempt to raise a child by yourself, and you will have the life of a peasant.” (14)

Or care about those who do transgress in any of the above ways. What the Bible says about the poor essentially applies to all who seek to apply the teachings of Jesus. He never seemed to have given us a way to "financial freedom" other than a way to be free from finances. (Smile!)

This author's books make so clear what the choices are: God or Mammon. He makes the Lord's love so attractive. I suppose that in the old days the crosses of martyrs & the execution of criminals did the same thing. Now those gagging on gold accomplish the same thing despite all attempts to do otherwise.

Much grace,
