“Is it not to deal thy bread to the hungry, and that thou bring the poor that are cast out to thy house?” Isaiah 58:7 – The “rich man” in the Bible was never concerned that there were poor adults and children starving to death all around him. It is not a sin to be...
A hungry child doesn't mind "eating with her fingers." This is one of our school children in the mountains.
