"The bread that you store up belongs to the hungry; the coat that lies in your chest belongs to the naked; the gold that you have hidden in the ground belongs to the poor."

Sometimes it's difficult for me to know how to respond to Christian hyperbole like the above current quote. The implied teaching of generosity is a greatly needed virtue that I think my Lord would for like me to practice. But, after reading the above I could become "absolute" and decide not to have any cans of soup or other food in the pantry, clothes hanging in the closet or savings in the bank. I'm ok with Christ's and the apostles' hyperbole, but I'm learning to throw out the hyperbole of men.
