Our Duty to Help the Poor
In our walk as Christians, it’s clear that we have a responsibility to help those who are less fortunate. The Scriptures often remind us that taking care of the poor is a reflection of our commitment to God and to Jesus’ teachings. When we lend a helping hand, we are following in the footsteps of Christ.
