Henry Schorr's main point is that God loves the poor and the needy, and as followers of Jesus Christ, we are called to have a heart for them and to live simply so that others can simply live. He emphasizes that our love for God is evidenced by our concern for the least of these, and that we should be generous with our time, talent, and money to help those in need. Schorr uses the example of the prophet Amos, who condemned the Israelites for their greed, oppression of the poor, and neglect of justice, to illustrate God's heart for the poor and the importance of living a life that reflects God's values. He also shares stories of individuals in his church who have made a significant impact by living simply and generously, and encourages his listeners to do the same, asking themselves questions like "Am I living simply so that others can simply live?" and "Am I giving generously of my time, talent, and money?"
