I think the government should get out of it entirely and let charity go back to what it should be. Local churches and neighborhoods should band together and take care of the truly needs among them. It would be local, quick, and with the much better use of the money than govt programs.
Also, too many Christians let the government take care of their charitable obligations - we should be doing it ourselves in Christ’s name, not letting people get their goodies in the government’s name. No wonder so many people worship Obama.
agreed and that is one reason why Huckabee will never get my vote.
He thinks that the Govt should supply the churches with Govt money so the church can give out our money.
Like you said let the church get their own money through their own work and then they can distribute their charity as they seem fit.
Right now many churches especially black churches can get tons of money and then use that to get their bus .
Once they have the bus they use it to go and get voters in their area to vote.
Plus it’s a way of paying off votes.
