I was sitting in my ethics class toady and I came across a thought and I thought that it was really some thing that could be taken a little further. 
Church
- Relies on people to sustain it
- Beg for money
- Begs from a pulpit
- Sends food to the poor
- Talks about the poor
- Is Rich
- Teaches Jesus
- Lives in a house
- The world Passes By
Beggar
- Relies on people to sustain it
Beg for money
Begs from a traffic light
Looks for food in where ever it can get
Engages with the poor
Is Poor
Knows Jesus
Lives on the street - The world passes by
A minister said to me the other the day that
- When people look into the church what do they see?
- When we look out of the church what do we see?
Here are some questions that I think that are important
- What can the church learn from the beggar?
- How are they similar?
- How do we engage in that Jesus?
