Bible Question:
when God has blessed our church enough that they may be able to help a fellow christian who lost their job and needs help. Where is the drawing line as to how much you help? and Please use scripture to back your answer. God Gless |
Bible Answer: What is the limit? The only limit is the one that love itself imposes; where giving to a person, meeting their perceived or immediate need, does them harm instead of good - then the loving thing to do is to not give them what they ask for, but to give them what they really need instead. You are not being specific in your question. Do you feel that there should be a limit as to "how much" your fellowship should contribute? Or, are you saying someone is taking advantage of their current situation? |
