My Resources

We have two major responsibilities when it comes to our resources. From the very first church counsel in Jerusalem, the church established two goals: to preach the gospel to everyone and to remember to help the poor. Paul also tells us that if we are not meeting the needs of our family that we have denied the faith. We are worse than an infidel. And that includes our extended family--widows, widowers, single moms and so on. The problem we have is that we often use our resources to meet all of our families wants, way beyond their needs, while the poor in our churches, our communities, and around the world are desperate for our help. Could it be that people in America and around the world doubt the message of God's love because they've never seen it in action?
