![]() Here we have some great verses relating to justice. God commands his people to care for those that are poor or abandoned (widows and orphans). When you had a crop you were to leave some for those that “don’t have” could pick and eat. There was even a special tithe that would go to the under resourced in the community. Now I don’t mean to get overly political here but it really is too bad that we have a government structure that has taken away our personal responsibility to do justice and charity and made it a tax. It’s harder to help people. What happened to separation of church and state? Or I guess I’d have to ask what happened to the church that the government had to step in? -Pastor Doug
