Saturday, October 29, 2005 Churches in the communityI agree on both issues.1. That it is the churches responsibility to go out to the community and care for the needy. 2. It is the governments responsiblility to care for the needy. 1. The Church. I think that alot depends on the church itself. The size of the church, the ablility of the people, the finance. I know of churches that have a freezer set aside to be filled with food for the needy. We, for some time, had a roster to take a Casserole to a lady who had MS. BUT I believe our priority is to the people within our congregation. As the congregation grows, so does our responsibility. If we know of people who need finance, help, food, even gardening etc within our congregation, then we should be willing to help wherever needed. I'm not saying that we ignore people 'outside' the church. Ultimately we need to spread the Gospel. If we do not have the resources then we need to be able to point them in the right direction. The Salvation Army Church is excellent in their outreach to the needy. 2. The Government - I think it is very important for the government to care for those in need. Afterall - isn't it our taxes that are being used? I get upset when I see our taxes getting used for rubbish. As you come along the freeways towards our place you are confronted with great slabs of concrete poking out of the ground. It is meant to be 'art' - "Windows of the West" - or some such thing. Apparently it cost a couple of hundred thousand bucks to put them there. Don't you think the money could have been used more wisely in caring for those in need? Sometimes I despair! # posted by shellymac @ 1:52 pm 0 comments
