09/22/2013 Support the Weak

A significant teaching within our Judeo-Christian heritage is God's command to care for the widow, the orphan and the foreigner living within our society. The weak and the vulnerable were under the LORD's protection in the Old Testament and Jesus came preaching good news to the poor. This emphasis continued in the early church, leading to great increases in the number of believers. All though out time, Christians have supported the weak by building hospitals and schools and opening food pantries. Does it apply to government as well?
