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.

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!
