The Day Of Visitation

Contributed by Darrell Jones on Jun 15, 2005

Whether as members of the church or government we have a responsibility to take care of the poor. Let’s look at what God’s Word has to say about those who neglect or oppress the poor.

The rich continue to get richer and the poor get poorer. I have no problem with the rich who work for their wealth, but the problem lies with those who gain wealth at the expense of the poor.

Freedom

Contributed by Mark Aarssen on Nov 8, 2007

We can be free in our spirit and souls yet be enslaved and held prisoner by a government that does not recognize our God or our beliefs.
