Providing for One Another
Providing for One Another
Our Responsibility in the Faith
Our thoughts,...
"I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want." - Paul.
For this work Paul understood the humble inspiration behind his pen when he also wrote; "Anyone who does not provide for their relatives, and especially for their own household, has denied the faith and is worse than an unbeliever."
We cannot, of good conscience, nor for our eternal souls, separate ourselves from the blessing and joy of providing wellbeing to our loved ones. Sadly, our society and culture have cultivated selfishness, removing ourselves from the familial bond to pursue fleshly gain, when in truth, "he that is greatest among you shall be your servant." We must love our fellowman and our household; this is not always easy, but we can always find a purpose to try in the way of Christ.
Matthew 6:33 gives us the inspired formula blessing qualified candidates into the reception of provision at the hands of those who sacrifice, practical in application, through His excellent grace.
Do they have food?
Do they have shelter?
Do they have clothing?
Do they have security?
The necessities of life are found within the realm of need, producing righteous pulp lining the respected context and culture, and we must set forth understanding with comfort and healing.
We remain thankful to God for all supporters who recognize the integrity of our work; you continue encouraging us daily. We do not have much compared to some, yet we have more than most, eagerly giving back a portion to His faithful few.
Your servant,
