  Incredible! The “poor” super rich people need help? I thought ALL people needed help.

  Do the poor poor people need help too? Since the poor poor people don’t have anything, I guess they do not have anything to be worry about. So they do not need our help.

  Perhaps the author of this article did not mean it to sound so incredibly biased, but you have to admit, that one sentence destroyed the many apparent important things to consider.

  1. The fact that a certain group of people – that happen to be super rich see the terrible state of society.
  2. Many of these same people have a sense of GUILT, seeing that many of them oppressed, robbed, and even murdered common laborers. See James 5.
  3. If God’s people are in the country, they should help EVERYONE – not just the super rich.

    Yes, we must not neglect the rich or the poor. As I thought about your comment, I realized that there is a problem among many Christian people. Most of them are oriented with strategies to help the poor. There are many charities, large and small, dedicated to this purpose, many of them church based. But there are few successful strategies among Christian people to reach the rich who are also needing salvation. And when we successfully reach out to the rich, they can help us with our work for the poor, especially financially, but also in personal labor for other wealthy people.

    Perhaps you are not familiar with the following statement.

    “The intelligent, the refined, are altogether too much passed by. The hook is not baited to catch this class, and ways and methods are not prayerfully devised to reach them with truth that is able to make them wise unto salvation. Most generally the fashionable, the wealthy, the proud, understand by experience that happiness is not to be secured by the amount of money that they possess, or by costly edifices, and ornamental furniture and pictures. They want something they have not. But this class are attracted toward each other, and it is hard to find access to them; and because of this many are perishing in their sins who long for something that will give them rest and peace and quietude of mind. They need Jesus, the light of righteousness.” {Ev 556.3}

    Because of their fear and guilt, they need Jesus, and some may led to be their neighbors and can help them in one way or another. This is not wrong. All should be reached, but somehow, many have neglected to consider how best to reach the wealthy classes. One way in which God designs to reach wealthy classes is through health centers (otherwise known as sanitariums). Consider this statement…

    “This place was pointed out as a most desirable sight for the sanitarium work that should be carried on near Boston. It has the attractiveness that will bring to it wealthy people from Boston. It has been reserved for us, that we may reach the people of that city. I have been instructed that it is in the providence of God that the New England Sanitarium is here; and we should appreciate the advantages thus placed within our reach.” {SpTB13 4.3}

    Our briefing was about the super-rich, not the poor. The comments associated with the briefing only addressed that issue and does not indicate bias for or against anyone. May the Lord help us to have broad minds, and the wisdom of heaven in reaching all classes. -Pr. Mayer

  Are the SDA’s heading for the Place of Safety? They need to know what E. White talks about : one clear place of settled glory.
