    I was raised in a Baptist church and I understand all of this but I also understand this. I went to a Baptist church for over 5 years while on welfare. I tithed in that 5 years hundreds of dollars. They went out and bought a church (which now is less than 1/2 full on Sunday) which costed about 100 million dollars.. I went to them desperately needing food (even $10.00 worth).. I was told I had to PROVE I needed their help and that I had to make an appt which would be in 6 weeks. I needed food then not in 6 weeks. I know people use the church to get money and then misuse that money and churches have to be careful but I was a long time member and I would have accepted a food voucher or the food iteself but they refused. I am sorry but if they can afford 100 million dollars for a new church they can afford to help me with a few groceries. especially since they send $25,000 a month to overseas missions..

    • I would respond that you need to find another church. It sounds like that one has grown too much to be effective in helping God's people. At my church you would have been given all the food you could carry with just the request, and immediately. There are hundreds of churches like mine, and maybe thousands. I would seek one out if I were you. Please read my answer to my own question.
