Hello folks. Pride is a human thing for all of us to do from time to time, but God has given us guidelines to help us reduce our boastfulness and pride. Let us be humble, when we help others around us. Date May 18, 2024 | Dispelling Pride & Boastfulness Verse Matthew 6:2 (NIV): "So when...

This is an issue I have been grappling with recently. The scripture provides support for both traditional, secular charities (helping the poor), and missionary work, but the latter just seems so much more effective from a rational point of view. While giving a man a fish can feed him for a day...

Hi everyone, I'm new to the forum, so excuse me if this has been tackled before (I'm guessing this charity has come up in the past). I was looking for a Christian charity to donate to every month, and I came across Christian Aid, who appear to do a lot of work to help poor people around the...

Does anyone get very discouraged when they can't verify a charity they really like the idea of?? I recently decided to donate, and two charities I've been intrigued by for some time were front and center on my list. Mind you both of them are on YouTube and I'd never looked much into how to...

Happy Sunday everyone! I have a business idea to help support a school financially that I volunteered at pre-COVID. When God puts you in a blessed position, it's important to bless others! If you had a product, what verse would you like to be on it? It could be your favourite verse, a verse...

If so where might one find them? I have to make an educated decision soon and I'd appreciate the input. Yemen is on my heart, that's a brutal famine but I don't know any Christian charities on the ground that I can get behind. I've been through the Charity navigator pages but find them very...

Other than perhaps scrolling through their social media feed, is there any way to see if a charity has a political agenda? I'm asking because I saw a large charity suddenly jumping on the "men can become women" train, and now I'm a bit worried about giving my money to the wrong people, even...

Something positive worth noticing. :) A woman’s kidney donation has saved the life of an Alabama police officer who put her in jail. Officer Terrell Potter had locked up Jocelynn James several times as she battled an opioid addiction. She credits Potter, now retired, with helping her turn her...

I am so excited for Lent! :ebil: I have to say, growing up Protestant I never heard much about Lent, had no idea what it was, and pretty much assumed it was something only Catholics did. Later on, after I came to faith, I always wanted to somehow make Easter Sunday special, because I understood...

The major church ministry this Christmas is to single moms in the city. The pastor decided to share some of the emails the church had received from people who knew about the effort, but were cynical. One man said, "How about single dads?" Another said, "You just want to get their money,"...

Most of people in Tadjikistan are Muslims, as in the surrounding countries. Both Muslims and Orthodox mostly are below the poverty line. Our Dushanbe diocese of Russian Orthodox Church is trying to help all people, who come for help in the form of free lunches on Sundays, grocery sets, medicines...

The subject is essentially about using your tithes and offerings to help needy people you know as opposed to giving them to your local church. What do you think of this? Personally I have done this sort of thing from time to time, especially when I was in between churches, or knew of a...

So after reading posts here on this forum on other forums internet news stories watching TV news reports reading an occasional newspaper if I can find one I see that the more Sensational political and sadly criminal actions tend to get the most news coverage. Even in sports someone cheating or...

I feel so privileged to write to my loving brothers and sisters in christ. I want to share with you this short inspiring message that lingers in my mind and that is; how I discovered the happiness and sense of fulfilment that comes with helping others especially children. I want you to dedicate...

What does tikkun olam mean to you? And how do you practice it (if applicable)? Do you believe we are honoring its precepts or have we gotten off track?

Row over coins from Rome's Trevi fountain So the government of Rome is taking money from the Trevi fountain, traditionally earmarked for charity, for infrastructure maintenance. I don't know, but this is literally robbing the poor and destitute.

I'm part owner of a company that provides gutter cleanings and installations roof repairs, tree trimmings, deck builds, etc. We have a great reputation and have formed friendships with many of our clients. This has given us the opportunity to share the gospel verbally, hand out bibles, leave a...
