Don't forget the poor

"Our valuables only become valuable when they are supplementing life rather than complimenting our own." -Brandt Russo

"I'm just not convinced Jesus is going to say 'When I was hungry you gave a check to United Way. When I was in need of clothes you dropped a bag off at the Salvation Army.' Jesus isn't seeking distant acts of charity. He seeks concrete acts of love: 'You fed me...you visited me...you welcomed me to your home...you clothed me' " -Shane Claiborne
