Bible Question: If I am not giving to the 'poor' I am not giving to Jesus? Is this a limitation not normally noticed? |
Bible Answer: The apostle Paul never clearly stated whether he was rich or poor. In fact, he did work on the side so that he would not be a financial burden to his ministry. Yet, he collected money to be used to help other churches. Does that mean that those particular church were poor? Ok, I'll admit that I can't answer that. Personally, I would argue that there are countless ways to "give to Jesus." |
