more bibles

I know I mentioned before about my concern for having so many bibles. Sometimes I feel a little guilty having so many when others have so few, but I've realized that I shouldn't feel guilty. I feel privileged to have so many resources at hand.

Another issue, and I'll tie it in in a moment, is how 'rich' I am. Now, I'm not rich in comparison to most other people in America, or in other developed countries, but to the rest of the world, and to most of the people in history, I'm rich. The bible gives instructions to rich people to be rich in good deeds. To help other people with their wealth and not to put themselves above people with less money.

Well, I've found a way to let other people have bibles. There's a ministry which is part of Voice of the Martyrs, and they help get bibles out to people in countries where it's hard to get bibles. For a relatively small payment each month, I can send these people bibles. (I'm not working for VOM, but I guess I am advertising for them) So, I can share my wealth with people who need bibles by sending them bibles. It's great.
