This is all well & good to give to the poor & needy people just remember that those who can give to other countries that's fine But never forget there are poor & needy people right in our own country of America

You know I attended church for eight years and in all that time giving was mostly about giving to the church. I can not recall any serious challenge to the wealthy in the congregation to make serious giving to the poor. Such an important thing but I think ministers don't care for that kind of thing like it might scare members of the church off. Building projects they were not shy about but helping the poor not so much.

Thank- you for sharing this. With all due respect, I must inform you, that there are masses of extremely distressed and homeless people experiencing, what you call, " biblical poverty in the United States; during this time of mass evictions, housing and food cost rising exponentially. With this mental health and addiction struggles that compound the resource lacks. I am not sure where you live, but I have traveled across this wonderful country four times, and it appears to be everywhere, with the exception of some of the areas in the center of the nation, in farm areas of sparse population- where the masses know there are no resources to help them. You also have poor within the church. Some are low wage workers, some have mental health and addictive issues, but they are walking with the Lord the best they can. Some families have disabled children, unbelieving spouses who might have left them with children to raise, illness that provided them enormous medical bills they can not pay. Many various situations that have caused hardships, that may or may not be a consequence of their own behavior. I am glad you are addressing this issue. The ways we give, the heart and wisdom needed to give well, with dignity, is very important to YHVH. Proverbs 19:17 🕊 Each one of us is gifted in different areas and that help will look different, person to person and circumstantially. The most helpful advice I was ever given was to see each person in front of me as an individual. To really see what God's intention is, through their vessel. To see through His Eye, the hidden person of the heart. To ask and pray for discernment. There is no formula, which frustrates us, it's a walking day by day, Trusting He will guide. We are ALL poor and needy before Him.

David, how do you feel that government should encourage businesses to give to the poor. California has recently selected landlords ALONE to give free rent to tenants for two or three years. Not all of the tenants are poor or needy. My own employer hasn't given me a raise in well over 10 years. Do you feel it is morally wrong that an employer should never give their employees raises? If you never give your employee a raise and that makes it hard to pay rent, why is the landlord ALONE responsible for helping out the poor in the eyes of the government? The university system in California stinks in my opinion as they seemed to only help out engineering majors and some otherwise well-paying majors find jobs. If you were an illustration, animation major (art), liberal science major or music major, when I was in college they would NOT help you find internships and I actually got misinformation in college. One of my former college professors makes well over $100,000 per year. Why is it moral that government pays some of their employees so much when they showed me that they provided misinformation and helped to impoverish me? They gave me poor guidance and misinformation in college. I look at elementary school teachers and they don't pay them much at all. How can government BLAME businesses in California when the government itself pays people so unfairly? Grocery stores and car dealerships are not required to provide free food or free cars to the poor but landlords have been required to provide free housing. How is that fair of government? From a biblical perspective, how do you feel the government should demand that businesses help the poor?

but if the poor is in a place highlighted by eyes of men ..should i not give to the poor because i might be seen and not get my reward from Father? ...i can judge by the way you speak about this topic that you had your eyes on rewards. if you do these things only to seek rewards from the Father..you will be very disappointed. God wants you to be like him ...love means to give without wanting something in exchange ...the reward will come as a side effect of what you are doing . but don't expect it. if i want to speak how i give to the poor i will speak in public ..because i don't care about rewards from Heaven. i will get heavenly rewards for the person i am...meaning for all the things i've done in my life not just one thing . giving to the poor is just one thing but there are many more things that we are judged . so if i speak about how i gave to the poor ,i only do it to encourage others to do the same...Jesus gave these teachings because he was talking about pharisees..and these are just superficial people with no good intent in everything they did.

We all know the heresy of the Prosperity Gospel, but no one wants to call out the Poverty Gospel because many are deceived into thinking Jesus commands it.
