How rich are you and how poor is your religious leader; How rich is your pastor and how poor are you?
“He who oppresses the poor to increase his riches, And he who gives to the rich, will surely come to poverty.”
Proverbs 22:16 NKJV
Proverbs 22:16 NKJV
“Jesus said to him[the rich], “If you want to be perfect, go, sell what you have and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, follow Me.” But when the young man heard that saying, he went away sorrowful, for he had great possessions.”
Matthew 19:21-22 NKJV
Matthew 19:21-22 NKJV
“Now the multitude of those who believed were of one heart and one soul; neither did anyone say that any of the things he possessed was his own, but they had all things in common.
+ And with great power the apostles gave witness to the resurrection of the Lord Jesus.
+ And great grace was upon them all. Nor was there anyone among them who lacked; for all who were possessors of lands or houses sold them, and brought the proceeds of the things that were sold, and laid them at the apostles’ feet; and they distributed to each as anyone had need.

And Joses, who was also named Barnabas by the apostles (which is translated Son of Encouragement), a Levite[minister] of the country of Cyprus, having land, sold it, and brought the money and laid it at the apostles’ feet.”
