Poverty makes us more likely to know that we are dependent upon God. But there is also no romanticization of poverty in the Christian life. All we who have means for ministry are called to use them in service of God toward those who can be helped by them in body, mind, and spirit.   Referenced Bible verses:  Mark 10:17-27; Psalm 14:2-3; Luke 12:5-21; Romans 5:8; 1 Timothy 6:10; Mark 8:36-37; John 3:16     Please note that Rev.
