Worshiping God by Raising Awareness about Poverty

Blog Action Day 2008 Poverty from Blog Action Day on Vimeo.

There are so many ways to offer our worship to God.  One of them is to support those who really can’t support themselves.  On October 15th, 2008 - Blog Action Day, bloggers from across the world will be blogging about poverty.  We have an opportunity and a responsibility to join in the conversation and to speak on this important issue from a Christian perspective.  After all, James 1:27 says this:

Pure and undefiled religion in the sight of our God and Father is this:  to visit orphans and widows in their distress, and to keep oneself unstained by the world.

The Bible has a lot more to say about poverty.  We’ll take a look at these things and what we can do about them on October 15th.

  1. Hi Ryan, thanks for posting this. I’m new to blogging and I see that some of our passions are very similar. I’m going to join you in this. Yes, the bible has a lot to say about poverty. And we who are “rich” in so many ways, should be always willing to help with these issues. Thanks for doing this!
