Some think that if people do not work they should not receive. But I say, How do you know they did not work? maybe it is just not enough, and isn't that judging? Sometimes bad and costly things happen that we are just not financially prepared for. Today I need help, tomorrow I can help someone else out, isn't that how the "Community" works. It use to work that way, but corruption, deceit and selfishness crept in like the "theif in the night" as the Bible warns and destroyed trust and love for each other and now everyone thinks everyone else is cheating and just wanting something for nothing. We need to get back to the jolly, helpful, sharing community.
Christ said, that "whatever you do not do for those with the least, you did not do for me". And if we love how can we let people need the basics and have extra and not give???? That is just me.
I was searching the internet for a good answer and found this article
"A Theological Discusssion About Helping The Poor", by Robert Carillo
It is very good, lots of scripture references and good commentary explanations.
What do you think? Do you know of food ministries around town? Would you want to be involved in helping with food related needs? Do you have any practical suggestions for those needing help with obtaining, preparing, storing, utilizing food they are not used to eating, (ie: deer meat or odd cuts of meat like neck bones, ect).?
