From Their Spiritual Economic Social And Physical Poverty
From their spiritual, economic, social and phyiscial poverty”
highlights that poverty is a complex problem and requires a
comprehensive solution.
Poverty is not just a matter of economics. Yes, when the Bible talks
about the poor it overwhelmingly means those who are economically
disadvantaged. However, it is a problem that requires a holistic
solution, far beyond money alone.
People are whole beings and the condition of economic poverty is
generally accompanied by significant levels of physical, social and
spiritual poverty. Children are particularly vulnerable to the physical
threats of poverty including malnutrition, disease and abuse.
Children in poverty are also particularly vulnerable to the emotional
and spiritual messages of poverty that tell them they are worthless, of
no value in the sight of others or even God.
