Lend, expecting nothing in return. Then your reward will be great, and you will be sons of the Most High. Luke 6:35

The Bible teaches that we have a Christian duty to help our neighbors in their time of need. We are called by God to bring the water of life for both soul and body. God created them both, and His purpose is to redeem them both.

God says it is our duty as Christians to take care of widows and orphans and to help the poor within the Christian society . . .And Jesus said, "Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me" Matthew 25:40 KJV].

I believe one reason that God allows poverty and suffering is so that His followers may demonstrate Christ's love, mercy, and comfort to [others].

Never expect God to do for you what you don't do for others.

Then very few persons have any idea of the large number of applications for help that rich people are constantly being flooded with.

In a large degree it has been the pennies, the nickels, and the dimes which have come from the Sunday-schools, the Christian Endeavour societies, and the missionary societies, as well as from the church proper, that have helped to elevate the Negro at so rapid a rate.

Sometimes we cannot see and don't want to see because we are blinded. We need eye salve to put on our eyes. We cry out for revival, and yet God says, "I want to open your eyes so you can see what is before you. Revival has a face and a name. It lies bleeding on the roadside." If we want to see revival, we need to begin with the one in front of us.

So long as you can sweeten another's pain, life is not in vain.

There is no better way to thank God for your sight than by giving a helping hand to someone in the dark.

Malaria is a disease that kills one to three million people a year. 300 to 500 million cases are reported. It's estimated that Africa loses about 13 billion dollars a year to the disease. Five dollars can save a life. We can send people to the moon; we can see if there's life on Mars - why can't we get five-dollar nets to 500 million people?

So give to the poor; I'm begging you, I'm warning you, I'm commanding you, I'm ordering you.
