Why The Inequity Between Rich and Poor
The Bible explains it. The 1611 Fellowship discusses this subject from a biblical perspective, starting with Abram. (My apologies for not posting for a while; I've been ill and I suspect there may have been corruption in some of the files, so I couldn't open them.

Thank-you for your prayers. It reminds me of James 5:16.
So happy to hear your voice Reg. An answer to many prayers.
Great insights on Saul . . his vanity/pride, stature vs Goliath's and what he should have done etc. God always works through the humble of spirit, but, to this day, the World chooses the Sauls as its kings. John the Baptist wore a cloak of camel hair and ate locusts in the wilderness. Daniel was a captive in Babylon (possibly a eunuch). Abraham left wealth behind in Ur to dwell in tents in a far flung land. Job was brought low. As was Jacob, As was Joseph. As was Moses. As was Sampson. As was David. As was Solomon. As was Saul/Paul. Although always humble, as was Our Lord, as THE example to follow. "Pride goeth before destruction: and an hautie spirit before a fall." Proverbs 16:18. "The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit: a broken and a contrite heart, O God, thou wilt not despise." Psalm 51:17. "Make mee to heare ioy and gladnesse: that the bones which thou hast broken, may reioyce." Psalms 51:8 "The Lord is nigh vnto them that are of a broken heart: and saueth such as be of a contrite spirit." Psalm 34:18 "And whosoeuer shall fall on this stone, shalbe broken: but on whom soeuer it shall fall, it will grinde him to powder." Matthew 21:44 . "So the last shall be first, and the first last: for many bee called, but fewe chosen." Matthew 20:16.
