What does it mean to provide?? Oh my.. please spend time with the Lord and allow Him to guide your ways..Just Be still n know He is God and wait patiently for the Lord to answerThe question is what does it mean to provide, how much do we need ourselves before we decide to help others, and i say need, not want, when there are 1 billion men, women and children living in abject poverty on less than a couple of $ a day, when around 15,000 children die every day from malnutrition and disease, when the Christ we profess to follow says that we should "Deny ourselves, take up our cross and follow him" and that in the face of the hungry, the homeless, the sick, the thir5sty and imprisoned we see him, then how much will it take to sayisfy our "providing" before we deem to help him?.
In this world of vast resources it shouldnt be a question of "us or them", we are ALL Gods children and we ALL deserve to be treated with Love and compassion no matter where we are born, there are enough resources to provide everyone with a decent life its only through the greed and selfishness of those who want to "provide" more than their fair share that Hunger, Poverty, suffering and Death consume so many.
Well if thats the case then the Love of God is surely not within them, God has provided enough for all, its only our sin that makes this world the Hell that it is for so many.
Could i ask you a question, you accused me of "spreading lies about Charlie Kirk", i'd be interested to know what i said to make you believe this?.
And you also accused me of "Not wanting to do the leg work" in finding out about CK, i think you misunderstand the nature of a discussion board, i make a statement, you say why you agree or why you dont agree with what ive said and we "discuss" until we come to an understanding of the others position, thats what makes this discussion board so important, for it brings people of differing views together who can talk, hopefully without rancour, and get to understand differing views of what it means to be a Follower of Christ.
I waited patiently for the Lord; and he inclined unto me, and heard my cry.
He brought me up also out of an horrible pit, out of the miry clay, and set my feet upon a rock, and established my goings.
And he hath put a new song in my mouth, even praise unto our God: many shall see it, and fear, and shall trust in the Lord.
Blessed is that man that maketh the Lord his trust, and respecteth not the proud, nor such as turn aside to lies.
