  • A Social Mandate?

    What role should the Christian church have in helping the poor and downtrodden? This pastor says that it is a “biblical mandate” to spend our lives helping the poor, regardless of their response, for these reasons: The OT clearly expects it, Deut 15:7-8 “The sin of Sodom was their lack of concern for the unrighteous poor, Read more

  • Rick Warren’s Latest
