He who loves money will never have money enough, but the poor can't help the poor. So where is the turning point to where you should consider it overflow that needs to be used to help others? No one should have a mansion with how many poor people we have. Yet I've helped people with money to fix their car when I don't even have a working car of my own. (Yes I am that poor).
I think it's ok to own a decent house and a decent car, with enough income to pay your bills and buy your needs. Habitat for Humanity is a charity that recognizes that people should have a decent home to live in. A new double wide trailer is a decent home if you don't live where there are strong tornados. I think people who buy expensive status symbol cars are greedy. Just because you have that much doesn't mean you spend it all on you- God is affording you the opportunity to be generous to others.
II Thes. 3:10 "For even when we were with you, this we commanded you, that if any would not work, neither should he eat"
Please do not be offended by what I am about to post. It is not for me to judge your circumstances. I understand that many are poor and in need through no fault of their own.
I am always ready to help those who are willing to help themselves, but many are in need because of their own doing.
They are lazy, they waste money on tobacco and drink and drugs. They refuse to learn. They refuse to start at min wage and work their way up. They refuse to work nights and week-ins. They make themselves unemployable.
I will help their families, but I have no obligation to help such people.
Men need to man up and accept their responsible to care for their families.
I make no apology for providing a home and a secure future for my wife and daughter.
