Great Escapes

Often the rich build great escapes - where they can live comfortably and not be confronted by the poverty or need in the world. It is possible for them to avoid the woes of this fallen world altogether. But God is not pleased if we isolate ourselves from the needs of others. He wants us to meet those needs! He wants us to care for others as He cares for us. We must learn to put the needs of others before our own wants. God's kingdom has no place for selfishness or indifference. (I suspect God's kingdom has no place for gated, golf-course communities either.)
