He Who is Kind to the Poor

For those of you new to Free Money Finance, I post on The Bible and Money every Sunday. Here's why.

For the rest of the year I'm going to be highlighting verses relating to the poor on Sundays as a reminder of why I'm doing my $25k Red Kettle Challenge. Here are two for today:

Proverbs 19:17 (NIV): He who is kind to the poor lends to the LORD, and he will reward him for what he has done.

Proverbs 14:21 (NIV): He who despises his neighbor sins, but blessed is he who is kind to the needy.

Remember, I'm matching your donations dollar for dollar, so everything you give doubles in value! If you'd like to donate, go to my online Red Kettle.

Hope you're having a blessed holiday season.

Why is this a hard thing to accept into people's hearts? The many poor/needy of this country who "need" government help (or otherwise), they are seen as moochers and lazy. If we all could remember your two scripture verses, we would be a a more blessed place amongst each other. Just a bit more compassion for the needy or downtrodden amongst us would go a long way to healing.
