"When you reap the harvest of your land, you shall not reap your field right up to its edge, neither shall you gather the gleanings of your harvest. And you shall not strip your vineyard bare, neither shall ypu gather the fallen grapes of your vineyard. You shall leave them for the poor and for the sojourner. I am the Lord your God" Leviticus 19:9-10
The question isn't how much should be give, but how much should we keep. It's commanded of us to give some of the fruit of our labour to the poor, that's our wages for us non-farmers here today.
How much of what we have do we really need, and how much will we be willing to give to those who need it more?
A place for Christians to quote scriptures they are passionate about and explain why they have been moved by them. That we may learn from one another and grow into what we are called to be.
Mission Statement
Mahatma Gandhi once said:
"You Christians look after a document containing enough dynamite to blow all civilisation to pieces, turn the world upside down, and bring peace to a battle-torn planet. But you treat it as though it is nothing more than a piece of literature."
In the film Dead Poets Society, English students are taught by a maverick teacher, to reject the text book approach towards looking at poetry... and instead embrace the passion behind it.
In the same way, those of us who post on this site, do so because we wish to reject the idea that scripture is just stories and rules. We want to reconnect with the passion and deep spirituality found within the Bible's covers, immersing ourselves in the deepest of passions... knowing God and being loved by him.
If you are interested in joining the Dead Prophets Society, please email me.

About Me
"I went into the woods because I wanted to live deliberately. I wanted to live deep and suck out all the marrow of life... to put to rout all that was not life; and not, when I came to die, discover that I had not lived." - Henry David Thoreau
"The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full." - Jesus Christ
