One of two things....

Christianity can be built around isolating ourselves from evildoers and sinners. creating a community of religious piety and moral purity....OR Christianity can also be built around joining the broken sinners and evildoers of our world crying out to God, groaning for grace.

Jesus said.."It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick. But go and learn what this means; I desire Mercy not sacrifice. For I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners" Matthew 9:12

Great thoughts but remember that if God loved and cared only for the poor(yes we are all "poor")who would there be to supply the funds to help with their physical needs? Because of the love of the rich for God they have the ability to use what they have been given to help those less fortunate through small works of great love! A rich man feels and responds to God's love in the same way the poor man does-like a thirsty man in the desert dying for the living water:)
