It Costs More to Accept Poverty Than to Eradicate It

We, the members of the Anti-Poverty Committee of Project Genesis, would like to underline the importance of of October 17th, the International Day to Eliminate Poverty.  This day is especially important given the fact that poor people are being increasingly marginalized and ignored by the powers that be in this climate of austerity and cutbacks.  Currently, in Montreal over half a million people live below the poverty line and the gap between rich and poor is growing.  Alarmingly, the poverty rate in Montreal is about two and a half times as high in racialized communities as it is in non-racialized …

If we’re going to be men and women of Impact, we have to go back to the old fashion word: obedience. We have to go back to practicing obedience and respect, honor and submission. I think God needs to get this message to his people once again. He still speaks to his servants, especially those who are loyal to him and ready to listen, obey and follow his instructions. Please note, God does not speak through a human voice, he speaks to us in our thoughts, mind, mind and heart and through His word. God is the living word, the …
