America is the biggest all time giver of aid of every kind to the rest of the world, both as a government and as individual citizens.
America is the biggest giver because we are the wealthiest nation. we also consume 75% of the resources of the world, as individuals we save the least amount of our money, and compared to what we give, we waste many times that amount on gambling, pornography, materialism, and fun and games. My point, connecting this with Pat Robertson and the Christian Righteous, is the fact that we pretend to be so moral when we are at best no better than the leftists and fascists of the world. Remember the Widow who gave all she had, while the wealthy gave out of their abundance? As a percentage of our income, we are NOT the most generous nation in the world.
It's not about how much you know, but what you do with what you know.

Convictions are very different from intentions. Convictions are something God gives us that we have to do. Intentions are things that we ought to do, but we never follow through with them.
