Whoever is kind to the poor lends to the Lord, and he will reward them for what they have done.
Proverbs 19:17, NIV
Recommended reading : 1 Timothy 6:17-19.
David Green, the founder of Hobby Lobby, remembers how his mother would crochet doilies to raise money for missions. “My parents were… some of the most generous people I’ve ever known,” he wrote. “Their spare living and meager income did not stop them from being generous in a thousand different ways. Mother may have had only three or four dresses in her closet, but if she heard of a woman who needed one, you could be sure Mother would soon arrive at the woman’s doorstep with a dress in hand.”[1]
The Bible tells us to be generous. That’s critical to our calling as believers. But no government can ensure that everyone has exactly the same amount of assets. Every attempt to create a level economy has pushed people into poverty with only its leaders living in luxury. Shared wealth does not bring unity. It creates envy and resentment, and ultimately causes socialism to fail.
We can’t control the governments of the world. That isn’t our job. But we can be generous!
