The Church Vs. The Begger

I was sitting in my ethics class toady and I came across a thought and I thought that it was really some thing that could be taken a little further.

Church

• Relies on people to sustain it
• Beg for money
• Begs from a pulpit
• Sends food to the poor
• Talks about the poor
• Is Rich
• Teaches Jesus
• Lives in a house
• The world Passes By

Beggar

• Relies on people to sustain it
  Beg for money
  Begs from a traffic light
  Looks for food in where ever it can get
  Engages with the poor
  Is Poor
  Knows Jesus
  Lives on the street
• The world passes by

A minister said to me the other the day that

• When people look into the church what do they see?


• When we look out of the church what do we see?

Here are some questions that I think that are important

• What can the church learn from the beggar?


• How are they similar?


• How do we engage in that Jesus?
