Thomas Boston, Presbyterian church leader, speaks of Christian community, quoting Mat 26 & Deut 15. God has ordained that some Christians are going to be poor. This for their own trial. But the rich have a trial as well, that of supplying the poor.
Do we hear this often from some churches? We are more apt to be told of the need to liberate the rich from the burden of having to hear about the poor.
How can you support your poor brethren?
