The Issues: Benevolent Work of the Church

Listen Later
  • “We speak where the Bible speaks and are silent where the Bible is silent.”
  • Nine scriptures deal with benevolence in the New Testament:
    • Acts 2:44-45
    • Acts 4:32-35
    • Acts 6:1-6
    • Acts 11:27-30
    • Romans 15:25-31
    • I Corinthians 16:1-3
    • II Corinthians 8:1-14
    • II Corinthians 9:1-14
    • I Timothy 5:16
    • In all of these scriptures, it is a local church relieving needy saints.
    • We must always be careful with what we do with the Lord’s money. It’s not wrong to help the secular poor. It’s just not the responsibility of the church to do so.
