Open Hearts & Open Wallets

But if anyone has the world's goods and sees his brother in need, yet closes his heart against him, how does God's love abide in him? Little children, let us not love in word or talk but in deed and in truth. - 1 John 3:16-18

In a great conversation with one of my best friends this thought hit me…

Based on the verse above… the only way a believer in Jesus can be rich in this world is to not have poor friends! And, if we don't have poor friends, how in the world are we being salt and light in a dying world?
