Romans 12:13 “Share with God’s people who are in need.  Practice hospitality.” A true characteristic of a Christian is helping those who are in need.  About 15 years ago I voluntarily was the executive director of a Pregnancy Counselling Center.  We had purchased a strip mall and also ran a used clothing/household goods store.  Donations were so strong from the local churches that the store was always overflowing with the back large warehouse space also always full.  Christian people were very generous.  We should always practice generosity.
