In recent years, churches of all stripes have begun to look afresh at how to more efficiently be God's agents of care to the poor in their communities. Additionally, millennials have become more vocal in their desire for the church to invest more attention and resources in this area. But where do they start? Should they spend more money or launch new programs? In his new book, Discovering God's Heart For The Poor, Thomas Osgood encourages us all--from pastor to pew-warmer--to start from the heart. God's heart. His compassion for the least, the left out and the left behind shows up throughout the Bible in both familiar texts and in other scripture verses that are not so well known. Whether you're a staff member, ministry director, Bible study leader or a Christian who wants to understand God's heart more deeply, you are sure to have a deeper understanding of God's heart for the poor, and develop a strong foundation from which to take action. Tom has sought to orient his life to reflect God's deep love for the poor and marginalized. He has "gleaned" wisdom from his years of experience rolling up his sleeves and ministering to the widow, orphan, and immigrant, and he's excited to share that knowledge with you through this book. Tom currently lives in Chicago with his wife, Angie.

Are you ready to probe how your heart relates to your wealth? Are you more focused on building God's Kingdom or your own?With a blend of biblical wisdom and stories of courageous people in some of the world's most vulnerable places, reading this book can help us explore how to maximize all we are and have for the glory of God. We discuss training our hearts to put their security in God, dethroning the idol of money, uprooting its related weeds of the heart (idolatry, pride, entitlement, presumption, possessiveness and envy), and displacing them with life-giving gratitude and generosity. Our hearts are then free to embrace what - or who - is on God's heart, namely the poor and the lost. We must also expunge the heretical notion that devalues God's good creation and his bountiful provision through it. This is key to seeing wealth creation as a spiritual gift and living into our callings as recipients, multipliers and conduits of God's overflowing blessings. It is wrong for us to use wealth to isolate ourselves from the messy lives of the poor. Rather, we're called to follow Jesus in sharing the sufferings of others and practicing our oneness with brothers and sisters in the global church. It is right to enjoy the material blessings God bestows - but not solely with people like us. We are to take seriously Christ's command to invite the poor to our dinner parties! We must follow Jesus across the divide into the lives of those whose dignity needs affirming and hope needs awakening. We can help develop their economic capacities to take care of their own families while learning from their stellar examples of dependence on God, generous hospitality, and unshakable gratitude. Then all will have plenty to share and find abundant joy in loving our neighbors and sharing together in God's goodness.

With photographs by Jeremy Cowart included throughout, The Poor Will Be Glad examines the pitfalls of traditional approaches and outlines a new model of economic development aimed at breaking the cycle of dependency.Through microfinance and employment-based solutions, people who share God's heart for the poor can reorient their efforts from giving handouts to offering a hand up, helping others provide for their families and regain their dignity. This book provides straightforward guidance for individuals and groups eager to carry God's justice, mercy, and compassion to the hurting people in our world.

What's at stake in our worship? EVERYTHING. Worship is the dangerous act of waking up to God and God's purposes in the world. But something has gone wrong with our worship. Too often worship has become a place of safety and complacency, a narrowly private experience in which solitary individuals only express their personal adoration. Even when w...

Discipleship and sonship are intimately connected. Jesus was a Son to His Father and a rabbi to His disciples. His goal was to teach His disciples how to be sons by introducing them to the Father and calling them to follow Him and imitate Him as Gods beloved Son. They were to be His replicas on earth, training others to follow Him. Jesus was a Jew, born and raised in the Jewish language and culture of His day. Out of this richness He invited and trained uneducated men to take His yoke, learn from Him and go into the world to set people free from their yokes of bondage. Westernization has obscured the Biblical meaning of discipleship and spawned believers who have lost the truth and simplicity of following Jesus. The church has been fragmented by theology and tradition instead of being united by the Spirit of Jesus. Jesus stripped Judaism of its impositions by taking people back to the Torah and explaining what God meant, not what rabbis imposed on it. This book is an attempt to re-introduce believers to Jesuss yoke by teaching them to embrace the spirit of Torah, which reflects, not rules or religion but mercy, based on the love of the Father.

Compassion changes everything: how you view the world...yourself...even Jesus. Produced in partnership with Compassion International, this five-week exploration of compassion touches both the head and heart--And helps participants discover (and share) God's heart for the poor. The book contains 25 daily readings, divided into five one-week segments. Each of the 25 daily readings includes Scriptural support for the author's arguments, a page for journaling responses to challenging questions about the day's reading, and a prayer asking God for guidance through the issue at hand. Week 1: The Poverty of the Heart The first step on the journey is to understand the poverty of the heart, to search our hearts and ask why it's sometimes so hard to help those in need. How are things like materialism and individualism stifling compassion? On the journey, we'll set down the burden of guilt and pick up God's grace instead. Week 2: God is Not Silent God has provided a map for our journey in loving others. This week we'll explore what the Bible has to say about serving the poor, the widows, and the orphans, and how God desires for us to show his love to those in need. Week 3: Understanding Poverty Understanding poverty will guide the steps we take in releasing others from it. This week we'll explore what poverty is--its causes and effects and how it's a spiritual matter at its core. Week 4: Prayer Prayer is the weapon God has given us for the journey of loving and serving those in need. This week of prayer and journaling will help us explore the power of prayer in a world in need of restoration and help us make prayer a part of daily life. Week 5: Be the Change The journey of serving those in need is, in essence, the journey of following Christ. And God has created each person uniquely for the journey, giving each one spiritual gifts, skills, and passions with which to serve him, to be the change we want to see in the world. This week we'll explore our individual gifts and be reminded that it is God's grace that sustains us along the way.

Today, many thoughtful and compassionate Christians are addressing the challenge of alleviating poverty. But while much progress has been made, many well-intentioned efforts have led Christians to actions that are not only ineffective, but leave the most vulnerable in a worse situation than before. Is there a better answer? Combining biblical exegesis with proven economic principles, For the Least of These: A Biblical Answer to Poverty equips Christians with both a solid biblical and economic understanding of how best to care for the poor and foster sustainable economic development. With contributions from fifteen leading Christian economists, theologians, historians, and practitioners, it presents the case for why a multi-faceted approach is needed, and why a renewed focus on markets and trade are the world’s best hope for alleviating poverty and serving those in financial need.
