Welfare that actually required the recipients to make the effort first!

The author’s idea that Leviticus and Deuteronomy are just about leaving food for the poor is egregious oversimplification.

Those passages contain detailed and accurate descriptions of good management and bad management of lands including vineyards.

I suggest www.Shemitta.com.

Lots of working ideas.

We lived in Siloam Springs, AR, for 5 years. The Allen canning company is located there. They always (then, anyway) left the rows nearest the roads unpicked for the poor to pick beans, etc. We were students then, with our family coming along. It was a blessing to have access to this one summer, in particular, when my husband’s VA checks got mixed up and took a couple more months to arrive! It helped to put fresh produce on the table and save the little money we had for meat, milk and other staples. Today, we purchase this brand whenever we see it available in local supermarkets. It has always been a quality item for a better price. I think that Christian principles, such as this, often manage to hold a company through the storms of life. The same for individuals, too. I’ve known many elderly who continued to set out a large garden, just so they could share with neighbors. Imagine in your old age, doing the back breaking work to maintain one, just to give it away! Unheard of today in all but the smallest of communities. God bless those who still live by Biblical principles! They do work. If only our nation would move in that direction!!

Ok, so say for the sake of argument this article is persuasive.

SO WHAT

It is not welfare or social programs that got us in trouble. It was the administration’s DISCRETIONARY spending, ya dig?

There are often gleanings left in the field but no one wants to pick them, they want you to pick it and bring it to them. There are some but most will just let it rot.

God even feeds the birds of the sky. But he doesn’t throw it in their nest. Just saying.

This is why I donate all my garbage to the poor.

Before the progressives jump all over me, I hope they've read 2 Thessalonians 3:10. . . .

"Progressives", better known as Commie Rats, don't give a rat's hiney what anything in the Bible says. They are doing every thing in their power to render Christianity impotent in this country.
