Helping the Poor

Posted by npulpit on

Episode 354: You see them from the time to time on the side of the road. Usually they are armed with a sign which says something to the effect of “Anything will help. God Bless.” Sometimes they come up to you at the store asking for money. What do we do with these folks? I heard some pretty harsh solutions recently which I discuss as I consider the application of the Golden Rule to the poor.

Episode 350: What should be the Christian’s response to the refugee crisis? Related to this is the immigration question.

Tune in as I explore Old & New Testament for divine guidance on these important issues.
