Here's some ammo for stewardship preaching:
Do you think you aren't "the rich" in Jesus' parable? Think again.
If you make $25,000/ year you are in the top 10%
richest people in the world. There are 5,398,344,113 people poorer
than you.
If you make $36,000, you rank in the top 4.33% richest people in the world. There are 5,740,000,000 people poorer than you.
If
you make $50,000/ year you are in the top 0.899% richest people in the
world. There are 5,946,042,435 people poorer than you.
If you
make $100,000/year you are in the top 0.6% richest people in the
world. There are 5,963,992,435 people poorer than you.
If
you make $200,000/year you are in the top 0.001% richest people in the
world. There are 5,999,892,435 people poorer than you.
Oh,
and in case you’re interested you are the 107,565 richest person in the
world if you make 200 grand/year. Stats calculated from GLOBAL RICH
Thanks for the ammo ... :-)
