(re: poverty)*
"For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though he was rich, yet for your sakes he became poor, so that you through his poverty might become rich." ~ 2 Corinthians 8:9 (NIV)

God never impoverished anyone because of his or her spirituality. Therefore, there is no way Christians can attain spirituality by impoverishing themselves or their families.
