CNBC had an article about corn price are increases. These increases will also drive an increase in milk, eggs, and then poultry and pork. They said that beef will also be affected.

The scary thing is, many people are already struggling trying to get by. Even those with jobs are finding it difficult to keep up with current costs. It seems the cost to live is outpacing increases in salary.

What does this mean for the church? What does this mean for those who are trying to join God in 'putting things back to rights?' There are opportunities now, but also opportunities on the horizon for the church to practice radical hospitality and also radical generosity (The term radical isn't really needed. It is used to signify that the opportunities we have, and will soon have, need to be addressed differently than we have in the past because the need will be greater). The question is, are we, as the church, going to be ready and willing to sacrifice our own comforts in order to be agents and instruments of God's kingdom?
