Every Church Should Have a Free Food Room

There is a verse in the Old Testament about tithing so there may be food in God's house, but that verse is only relevant today if churches have a free food room where poor people, who have no food, can come and get food for free.  That is essentially what the Old and New Testament temples and churches in the Bible did, but almost NONE of the churches these days do that, sadly, at least not in America.  But EVERY church should have a free food room, for the homeless or single moms or those who just lost a job etc.  Then maybe more people would go to church, if they saw that the church ACTUALLY gave to the poor on a daily or weekly basis like God said we should.  And maybe those who go church would actually be EXCITED about church, because they wouldn't just be going to hear a college lecture essentially, they would be part of an exciting selfless giving TEAM!  Who actually puts action behind their words.  How cool would that be?!  

And maybe more people in the world would then really believe that God loves them and cares for them if the church really gave to the poor, as God wants us to.  

Maybe we should stop judging the world and start caring for it.  It is not our judgement that will get people saved, it is our love.  Amen?  "This is how people will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another."  And if you love the world and care for it. 

Why was Mother Theresa essentially the ONLY person who devoted her life to caring for the poor?  Why haven't other believers devoted all their time to helping the poor?  Isn't it strange that no one else, or very few others, have?  Especially since that is what Jesus told us to do? 

But think of how revolutionary that would be!?  If Christians actually did care for and provide for the poor, as much as they could.  How revolutionary would that be is churches all over America and the world started to have a free food room!  It would be amazing! 

Not to sound cynical, but what else are churches doing with all the money they get?  They should be feeding the poor, first and foremost.  The money shouldn't go to just help pastors have an excessively huge house or an overly expensive car, which often happens.  What kind of house would Jesus have?  What kind of car would Jesus drive?  Something to think about. :)

People in churches should be more encouraged to bring in food for the poor every Sunday, rather then give money to the building.  The building isn't important, feeding the poor is.  Otherwise the people are essentially just giving to themselves, which isn't really giving, if you really think about it. ;)

Go buy some food for some homeless people!  And then this verse will apply to you and your life. :) "Bring the whole tithe into the storehouse, that there may be food in my house. Test me in this," says the LORD Almighty, "and see if I will not throw open the floodgates of heaven and pour out so much blessing that there will not be room enough to store it."  -Malachi 3:10

Notice biblically what God directly says our tithes are supposed to be doing?  Providing food in God's house.  For who?  The poor.  And a tithe in the Old Testament was not money, it was food. ;)  I guess I fulfill that in my baking muffins for my neighborhood and the homeless.  What can you do to help feed others?  Think about it.  God bless. :)
