    We are called by Jesus to offer cups of cold water to the widows, poor and fatherless of this world but how is a believer to balance this command with also being good stewards of God's resources? For instance are we called to give to the takers of this world and if so in what manner?

    We are to be different from the world. All quotes from Scripture is from the NASB.

A lot of us look forward to this worship service because (despite the fact that we come from different backgrounds) we all really seem to like each other.
