........Generosity and Judgment? Those who ignore the needs of the poor will face God’s wrath on the day of judgment. There should be no mistake—a day is coming when we all must give an account to the Lord (Romans 14:12). To our dread or to our joy, all our actions (and even the intentions behind them) will be exposed in judgment before a God who is holy. The prophet Zephaniah reminds us that God’s judgment encompasses everything—including our money. In fact, Zephaniah prophesied that while the day of the Lord will leave no stone uncovered, God’s coming judgment will have a decidedly financial focus: (Zephaniah 1:11-13 Says:) Wail, you who live in the market district; all your merchants will be wiped out, all who trade with silver will be ruined. At that time I will search Jerusalem with lamps and punish those who are complacent, who are like wine left on its dregs, who think, ‘The LORD will do nothing, either good or bad.’ Their wealth will be plundered, their houses demolished. They will build houses but not live in them; they will plant vineyards but not drink the wine................. NOW IF YOU THINK THIS WAS FOR THE JEW ONLY - read this ( 1st Corinthians 10:11 ) "Now all these things happened unto them for ensamples [examples] and they are written for our admonition, upon whom the ends of the world are come.." That's us children. US!  This is why we are doing what is stated above. Will you consider HELPING ME spread the Good News around the world? I am not saying here we are poor, BUT those without Jesus Christ MOST ASSUREDLY ARE! Please help me tell them!
