Ministry In Christ or or Man Made Charity

It is sad to see both sides of the spectrum ignore God's purpose and His whole Agenda.

Some fight about just evangelism and holla where's the ministry and don't help the poor.

While others who do all these good works in the neighborhood, yet get loads of funding and call others "church folk"

It seems that both sides have missed the point.

Although we are to love our neighbors as ourselves, which means do for them as you would want for yourself; because you know you wouldn't want to be hungry or homeless.

But what about all these hungry souls who need daily food of the word of God. Oh I know that everyone claims to be Christian or put their faith in God, but the truth is these same poor people couldn't even give you 5 true principles from the word of God in Spirit and in Truth, because I was one of them.

Oh yea I went to church, but I was getting a scripture and strange philosophies on top of those scriptures or doctrines of men. This leaves people hungry spiritually.

God explains over and over in His word how people appear to be prosperous, but are destitute spiritually. And this is definitely what is going on in our churches today.

It is the responsibility of those who claim a nonprofit tax break in the name of Jesus to at least share the teachings of the gospel with the poor and might I add for free. The very thing Christ came to do. Sharing the gospel should not be charged for in any kind of way. I am referring to the teachings, knowledge, and wisdom of the word of God.

True lasting teachings that help people make true change, not according to the world’s standards but to God’s standards.

Christ taught us the whole gospel, not just half of it.

You can feed me, cloth me, and give me a place to stay. But if I die and my soul don't even know Christ through his true Spirit and Word being more than just an alter call and confess your sins and know your saved, the lie that people are taught, You would have done my body good, but my very soul was hungry and thirsty and left to the perishing.

It is one thing to be a charity. But it is another thing to say that one is a ministry and do all these things in the name of Jesus.

Even pagans give charity.

But how can we say that we are a ministry, yet not minister the very food that will outlast food that perishes. I am in no way against feeding the poor, or helping the sick.

I am the very poor and have gotten help myself. But my soul has been starving for true food the Gospel. (Word of God, with true Godly ministers to preach and teach his word)

People write books, sell cds, sell music, sell conferences, sell revelations, all these things, but if you truly looked around in today’s society who is preaching or teaching people God’s way of doing things.

Ministers are not even teaching people God’s principle’s of an education, health, or money (only to take the 10%) which is robbery and oppression of the poor, because if you truly read the bible on tithe instead of people manipulating people with Malachi, you will see what true tithe unto God is.

Christ stated that in the last days there would be many false prophet, apostles, Christ, and teachers, taking advantage of weak people through their lusts and naivety. He lets us know in the word that they will use vain words and deceptive heresies.

So a lot of people claim Jesus as their faith, but they truly don’t even know him. And it is the responsibility of those who claim to be a ministry in God’s Son name to provide that very Gospel to them while obeying the other part of the Gospel, feeding the poor.

It doesn’t make since to claim Jesus name and give one all the physical possessions and teach them the fundamental principles of the world and not give people FOOD (the word of God) for their souls.

One day food, clothing, and cars, houses, 10 steps on how to be successful will all pass away.

But people’s spirits/souls and the word of God will never pass away. And the soul will either go to hell or heaven.

So those who carry on missions in the name of God and his Son Jesus have a responsibility to care for the souls of the people and feed them food that will not perish.

And not junk food, (false teachings)

Anyone can be a charity. Even pagan companies have charities, but not anyone can claim to be ministry in Christ and can subtract the teachings of the gospel.

Feeding the poor, seeing after the homeless and teaching people the gospel goes hand-in-hand in God’s book. You can’t have one without the other.
