NEEDY CITIZENS
When George Washington was President, there was a move in Congress to change laws so tithing to a church wasn’t required. The move was voted down because Congress didn’t want the government to be responsible for supporting needy citizens. They saw that as the church’s job.
How far we’ve come! Or have we?
When Congress makes laws, they are one-size-fits-all laws that are easily taken advantage of and abused. If the church were responsible for caring for the needy, there could be one-on-one ministry that individualizes the care given. Of course, today even church members don’t tithe, so finances are limited.
What do you think? Would it be better for the church to care for needy citizens or the government? Why?
