Needs

I have been reading through the book of Deuteronomy and it has been talking a lot about helping out the poor, fatherless, and widows. Basically we need to be helping those that are in need. How are we helping those in need? What are we doing to make sure the needy are being taken care of? In fact in the book of Deuteronomy it talks of taking the tithe and giving it to the Levites (would be pastors in our day) and to the fatherless and widows. Are we doing that today? What would our churches look like if we used our church money this way? What if we didn't pay for our programs out of our church buget and got rid of the benevolent offering? What if we took the program money and used that for those in need? What would our world look like then? I think that we would see the church used how God intended it to be used.
