warning

Warning: beware of organizations or individuals who believe that fighting poverty includes “population control.” They think, wrongly, that if there were LESS people, there would be MORE food & other resources available for people. They are WRONG. With more people, we have more individuals to help create & sustain infrastructures that can & will alleviate poverty, assist the disabled & elderly, & create good communities. Those in favor of so-called “population control” usually also support abortion & maybe even assisted suicide or other forms of euthanasia . It’s a slippery slope that is the EXACT OPPOSITE of God’s intention for the world.

COMMENT: YOU NOTICE in the PREVIOUS POST the BIBLE VERSE that ends with JESUS SAYING 
"TO the POOR the GOSPEL is PREACHED..." and elsewhere he says at one point, 
"The poor you will always 

have with you, 

but you will not always 

have me..."  (Matt 26.11)

 Jesus IS plenty concerned about 

the poor, and there are plenty of verses 

supporting His concern, but it seems that 

there is a tone of inevitability that there 

will ALWAYS be poor, and while helping 

them overcome their predicament, we 

MUST also, and most importantly, make 

sure they know the Good News before 

they die. Thus we help them with food & 

water, etc, & education

 but we also must tell them the 


Good News !
