daily word - the poor
My word is clear about the importance of giving to the poor. It is present throughout the Bible, and one practice present in most faith traditions and approved of by those outside the church practicing it. It is the closest thing to a universally approved practice. Do you give money to the poor? If you give them enough then they are no longer poor, but I said that you have the poor with you always. Money isn’t the only thing that you can give the poor, and it may not be the best. Are you prepared to address the issues that led to their poverty in the first place?
