Myths About Poverty
Here is a great review of a speech given at Acton last month on "Myths Christians Believe on Wealth and Poverty" by Dr. Jay Richards. They originally had an audio link posted, but it was not working. Now the link is completely removed. If I find it up again, I will update this post. I really like the thinking that is being done right now to correctly understand the "unintended consequences" of what we do in our efforts to help the poor. Giving a handout is generally never the best approach, and now we are beginning to see why and what is more helpful. Acton has published its 2007 Samaritan Guide if you are interested in finding local agencies/charities that implement biblical benevolence (See previous posts).
