YOU Help the Poor !

The greatest benefit of serving those that are in need is that it will bring you toward a greater opportunity for a relationship with God.

James 1:27, Acts 9:36, Acts 10.

Notice how God not only 'says' that "Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and .. is ...to look after orphans and widows in their distress"; but he also shows us in other scriptures how 'He' has reached out to those who have reached out to those who are in need.

Also consider Matthew 10:42 and Mark 9:41.

In mind of those last two, notice that it does 'NOT' say "anyone who gives money to an organization and has that organization give a cup of water in my name" ... Instead it speaks to the individual doing it.

When was the last time that 'you' gave to those that needed food and/or clothing. Jesus gave us an example to follow. His command is that 'you' follow that example. So, either you need to follow it or stop dirtying His name by not following it but still calling yourself a Christian. ... ME TOO!
