Why I Don't Give to Charity or Political Groups Anymore

Change Only Through the Cross and The Holy Spirit

There are probably more NFP organizations charity and political, religious even than I could likely count in a lifetime.  Give to one and suddenly 10 are calling you, emailing, mailing you.  There is the government "war on poverty" that has not ended poverty by any means and it never will.  

Non-profits, including churches that aim through social service programs, and 12-steps to cure people of their ills.  Yet they free no one, eliminate not the root cause of any of the ills of anyone or of society.  As for politics, well no amount of legislation can fix society because the sin nature and sin have taken over society and nations, so everything is topsy turvy, bad is seen as good and vice versa.  As I looked around me and remembered even just how different it was from when I was kid, and having come to a place of realizing that Paul's words are the entirety of the Bible in a nutshell in 1 Cor 1:17 and 2:2.  As I realized that and realized just how powerful that victory at Calvary was and that means is for the Holy Spirit to work in us to bring about transformation, to give comfort, courage and so much more, I realized that if I was going to support anything, it had to be the endeavors of those ministries that were true to solid conservative Sola Scriptura principles no matter what and preached exclusively the Message of the Cross, those who like the Apostles understood that the Church is not called to be a government entity, a social work agency or any such thing, but a Watchman, a Witness and as necessary a Prophet of warning.  While I am happy to pray for those in need, the best way to help is to support my media ministry Family Worship Center, as as Sonlife Broadcasting to bring the Message of the Cross that then opens up hearts and souls to the Holy Spirit to change them forever and they then change their communities, society etc..  My tithes, my offerings will go to sharing what can truly long term change society, the Gospel truth and solid conservative values taught in and through the Gospel, way of the Message of the Cross, which opens the door to the Holy Spirit to change people.  That in turn changes everything.  As far as giving to charities and political groups, no. First of all there are too many, and they have a nasty habit of if you give to one, that one shares your info with 10 others and suddenly you get phone calls from a number of groups asking for money and that to me is unacceptable, as it is an invasion of my privacy and I wont tolerate it.  Secondly as I've said, I do not believe charity or politics is the long term, long lasting answer to any problem, only the Message of the Cross, which opens the way for the Holy Spirit to transform a person's heart and soul.   I will give to spread the Message of the Cross worldwide and that will truly transform lives and societies in a holy and Godly way, a right way.

Shalom and Amen.
