I believe that it is the churches responsiblity for the poor. Not the government and lets face it the church does it better. I was just telling my sister how We(the church) are always the 1st to come when bad things happen and We are the last to leave. Ministry feeds more hungry and clothes them and provides means for support for the poor more then any other group. More then Oprah more then big money companies, More then the government. We dare go into the places of the most termoile to help the orphan and we are not afraid to touch Aids infected infents.-Something to think about. What if people gave more to God then they did the government? We could stamp out world hunger in a single day. What if the government gave more to God then they abused for themselves?

Totally agree with you! I think that point needs more clarity on my part!

When we place our hope in political hope we put ourselves in peril. When we look to a candidate to give us what only God can provide and make one party appear more ‘Christian’ than another (when “all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God”) we put ourselves in peril.
But when we say, “Jesus is Lord,” we can still be patriotic, but we take our cues from Christ, not nation pr political party. And that means we can only condone and celebrate what is done in our land when it glorifies God.
