Samuel Annesley, Puritan minister, describes Christian duites to the poor. Duty to children does not permit taking away from your duty to the poor. Some hoard for children at risk of their own eternal good.
Is this advice on the lips of your local, contemporary Puritan scholar (or conference attendee)?
How can you consider your part towards the relief of the poor?

Unfortunately #divisions still occur among God's people Today but if we conduct ourselves in love, they don't have to!
There are Many #bible examples of meaningful friendships/collaboration between youth & older servants of God; #RuthandNaomi #ElishaandElijah #TimothyandPaul etc.
God bestows virtue in both the young & aged ... #AgapeLOVE bridges the gap.
Why did the Prophet Elisha curse the “youths” for making fun of his baldness (2 Kings 2:23-24)? Is making fun of a man’s baldness a good enough reason to be mauled by a bear?
THE TRANSFORMATIVE POWER OF LOVE
"A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples if you love one another" (John 13:34-35) ✒️ Check out the full story on our blog:https://unplugndthrive.blogspot.com/2024/04/embracing-christs-call-transformative.html

#BodyOfChrist We're created in God's image, Right? ~Are we reflecting the #AgapeLove of the Father, Jesus & Holy Spirit for everyone to see💖
💡Remember: We're holy/set apart because GOD IS HOLY. An outward show of piety doesn't mean we're mature in the #faith We must be a changed person in our Inner💓self, to truly be walking the narrow road that leads to life.
None of us are perfect but #Jesus was, is & always will be~
So... Be ever mindful of our desperate need for him/his refinement of us.
“Our society has programmed us to see love as transactional. ‘Scratch my back, and I will scratch yours.’ But Jesus’ command to love one another as He has loved us is to follow his example of grace in the giving of his life on the cross for all the world. The call is to sacrifice for others fully with no consideration of what you will get in return.”
