Opinion II

I've come to the conclusion that it is the responsibility of the church catholic to eradicate hunger and poverty. Every single Christian person and every church should have as part of their mission statement to do away with hunger and poverty. We believe a lie when we think we can just pay our taxes and rely on the welfare system to take care of the poor and occasionally churches or other organizations can just fill in the gaps. We further believe a lie when we just throw up our hands and say "It can't be done." Those are lies from the pit of hell. There is enough money in evangelical churches alone that if we downsized our lifestyles we could meet the need. I wonder what could be the catalyst to get the church to work together and to care enough to give up their comfort. I see it as so scary that the opportunity is right there in front of us but we can't/won't do anything. We can't seem to get united. We won't downsize our own lives. What could possibly unite and motivate us?
