Hello All,
I'm looking for a way to create an efficient search for "benevolence in and outside of the church". There are some in my congregation who feel that once the money hits the collection plate it cannot be used by the church as a whole to assist those who are not members of the Lord's church. They feel it is fine to do so as individuals, but not as a "corporate church". I"m wanting to research this topic in order to provide a comprehensive discussion about this in an upcoming classroom setting.
I don't want this post to become a theological discussion on this forum, just looking for the most effective and efficient way/method to mine my resources for my 6000+ books. If anyone has any good resources, scriptures etc. please send them my way.
Thanks so much!
In Him,
Jeff
