Question

As long as there is such disparity in the world between affluent countries and bitterly poor countries, can it possibly be ok to live in affluence and not work to help the poor people? Living a morally upstanding life in America, but not working to help the poorest of the poor elsewhere: is this solidly alright, semi-ok, or simply wrong? Is it ok to have a nice house, flatscreen tv, and lexus so long as I give 10% to God, fellowship with others, and live a "moral" life while people starve to death and die from AIDS every day in Africa? Is that possibly ok in God's eyes? I seriously do not know. But I want to find out.
