Sharing

I read the following blog quite regularly and am often challenged and excited by the ideas i encounter there:

Poser or Prophet?

Below are some links to a few posts that came to mind on Sunday after watching Rich. I found them very challenging:

Sharing as Non-Sensical Charity

Sharing and Debt

Sharing (a final appeal)

Any thoughts?

I agree with a lot of what this guy has to say. But I'm a true believer in 'applying a level of common sense' to everything and taking theoretical to practical. Therefore, how much of my words are reflected in my budget, my diary, my attention, my thoughts? If I say all the right stuff and my life doesn't change then I'm a fool. That's my personal challenge from 'RICH': yes, I'm rich and blessed etc. but how does that translate practically? What is my real, true view of the world and those who live in it? Can I walk the walk or just talk the talk?

Hi skylight lounge team,

Thanks for your comment.

Bearing in mind your desire to take things from the theretical to the practical - do you think we can and should live out some of the ideas expressed in these posts practically?

For example:

"give to everyone who begs from us, and lend expecting nothing in return. Full stop."

"share the debts that have already been accrued by other members of the Christian community"
