Contributed by Derek Geldart on Apr 10, 2022

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?
