Never More Urgently Needed GOD'S PLAN TO HELP THE POOR - Clayton D Steep - June 1983

Clayton D Steep

It has been on record for thousands of years-but no nation has yet followed God's antipoverty program! It gets cold at night and it's awfully uncomfortable not being able to stretch out, but at least Ernest and Mary De Marco have their older car to sleep in. The middle-aged man curled up in a stained blanket some 50 feet away isn't that fortunate . The cloth bag next to him contains all his earthly possessions. Only the massive freeway bridge overhead shelters him from the elements. It wasn't always this way for the De Marcos. They once owned a home in a middle-class neighborhood. Those were the days. Ernest was a corporate manager with a promising future. His star was rising, as they say. The De Marcos had friends . Ernest treated his business acquaintances to frequent dinners in their tastefully furnished home. Mary especially enjoyed giving parties on the garden patio by the swimming pool. - Information Supplied By: Herbert W Armstrong Library
