What's the down side of that?<br />"Where is the Love?" we need to ask; and love is helping that malnourished child before she dies in any pastor's arms.<br />I must admit that the mission work I hear about or see my nieces and nephews embark on (though one works full time in downtown L.A., others (and she) have helped in Mexico quite a bit) always includes building homes, fixing things, bringing canned foods, etc., so I'd have to say most of the work I see does encompass God and Charity. A good thing.<br />And, of course, I'd never force any redistribution; as the Bible reminds us, it's our hearts that tell us what to give.Zhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15989573357446569262noreply@blogger.com
