Philanthropic endeavors are unacceptable when done outside of the context of a justifying faith.<BR/>"Whatever is not of faith is sin."<BR/>What you have when you see the wicked with riches is God lavishing his enemies with something that is only temporal; when they give these riches to others, they do it because 'the heart of the king is in the hand of the Lord,' and God controls their desire to give and the mind from which the desire to give springs.<BR/>Don't waver, brother. I'm praying for you.ronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08431014401042981856noreply@blogger.com
