Early Christians took care of their own. The first deacons were selected to serve by making sure food was distributed fairly. Those who had gave freely to those in need.
Acts 4: 34-35 There were no needy persons among them.
For from time to time those who owned lands or houses sold them, brought
the money from the sales and put it at the apostles' feet, and it was distributed to anyone as he had need.
Why does not the modern church....no...rephrase that....why does not the modern Christian do likewise? Why have we decided that it is no longer necessary to give to those in need?
Today's Reading: Matt 4; Gen 4; Rom 4; 1 Thess 4; Job 4; Ps 4; Prv 4; Jsh 4; Isa 4; Acts 4
