I appreciate that you have a heart for the poor, but I'm afraid I must take serious issue on this subject.

If we are truly a caring charitable people...

Those who are charitable do not need the government to help them give to the poor.

Those who would force another to be charitable are not demonstrating any charity themselves, anymore then who would not give if not forced. Thus does an enforced charity system has no charity in it.

Without love, no act of "charity" is worth anything to God. Huge bureaucracies like our government do not act in love.

Trust in God. Not in Government.

We ARE the government in this country. Or at least we're supposed to be.

Trust in God. Not in Government.

Next time you're laid off you should refuse your unemployment check and just "Trust God".

The fact is God often uses Govt's as an agency of His authority.
