Misssionaries With God Complexes

Quote:
"OH, America that is drunk on pleasures, come out of the castle and look on the millions who perish without ever having a chance...
Can we really live in our little worlds and sing Oh, how I love Jesus when our actions prove otherwise?"

This is very true. America spends much more on beer than missions.

The biggest chunk of the donations, $96.82 billion or 32.8%, went to religious organizations. The second largest slice, $40.98 billion or 13.9%, went to education, including gifts to colleges, universities and libraries.

Small part is sent to missions? so sad.

So we are putting the beer companies out of business by speding way more on non-profits than on beer?

Disgraceful.

I wonder if the wine makers were upset when Jesus turned the water into wine?
