If you are a preacher, all you have to do to get good press is to equate government assistance with charity, which is a perversion.
Charity is a blessing given freely, usually to a recipient who has repented of destructive behavior. By contrast, welfare is coercive, funded by money taken by force. Its object is driven by covetousness, to use other people's property supposedly to do "good works." In reality, welfare inculcates a system that justifies more money by failure and asks nothing in the way of repentance from its customers is an evil.
Covetousness is born of the presumption that G-d will not provide. It becomes a way of acquiring property by collective claim. It justifies construction of institutions capable of enslaving us.
Rick Warren is thus an agent of sin of the highest degree, an abettor of evil.
Amen!
Great reasoning and logic.
