It doesn't say anything about "non-tithing widows". :lol:
Isaiah 1:17
Learn to do good;
Seek justice,
Reprove the ruthless,
Defend the orphan,
Plead for the widow.
That there is the gold standard.Quote:
James 1:27 Pure and genuine religion in the sight of God the Father means caring for orphans and widows in their distress and refusing to let the world corrupt you.
I've always wondered why the give to get crowd isn't on TV soliciting for receivers.
Are you broke, hungry, have financial needs? Call now so I can bless you with some cash!
Now that right there would probably create a genuine praise-a-thon in the heavenlies.
And of course, if the TV preacher is giving he'll get the hundred-fold back, in good measure, pressed down!
Then perhaps she should have Joined a Church where there are no "man made bills" :)
On the other hand Jesus did have a huge donor base
Yep even Jesus had financial needs :)Quote:
Luke 8 1Soon afterward Jesus began a tour of the nearby towns and villages, preaching and announcing the Good News about the Kingdom of God. He took his twelve disciples with him, 2along with some women who had been cured of evil spirits and diseases. Among them were Mary Magdalene, from whom he had cast out seven demons; 3Joanna, the wife of Chuza, Herod’s business manager; Susanna; and many others who were contributing from their own resources to support Jesus and his disciples.
I pity the fool who doesn't pity the widow!
