That was a question I got from one of my Bible Study students last night. I was taking them through a lesson on the original sin from a foundational Christian doctrine book, and at the end of class, this was one of the questions that was presented to me. The gentleman was a new beliver who has not had much theological background. Amazing.

Such are these, that are the generation that God has given to the nation of Cambodia. Jenny & I strive to fill them with as much Bible as we can before our time here comes to an end. Almost all of these students come from families who live in the rural provinces. They frequently visit them on weekends, or holidays, etc. Here, in Phnom Penh, we fill them with knowledge and impartation of Jesus, and we pray that they give that Light away to their families, on the occasions they visit them.

Everyday abounds with opportunity to give away what Christ has given to us. St Francis is known to have said, "Ïf I die with $5 in my pocket, I am to be known as a thief and a liar." Francis was talking about riches, but we endeavour to be like that Spirtually, giving away all we possess of God, so that others can know of His goodness and love. The Apostle Paul writes to the church in Corinth that we "have nothing, yet possess all things." Do we believe this? More importantly, do we naturally live our lives in accordance with this truth? The answer can be obtained by a quick glimpse at the Church today.
