“ It was clearly recognized in the Old Testament that poverty does not normally just happen. Although sometimes it was due to personal sin or national disobedience, and to God’s judgment on them, it was usually due to the sin of others, that is, to a situation of social injustice, which easily deteriorated because the poor were not in a position to change it.”
-John Stott, Decisive Issues Facing Christians Today, 1984
