To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God.&#8221; -Micah 6:8<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;<span id=\"en-NIV-16943\" class=\"text Prov-19-17\">Whoever is kind to the poor lends to the <span class=\"small-caps\">Lord<\/span>,<\/span> <span class=\"indent-1\"><span class=\"text Prov-19-17\">and he will reward them for what they have done.<\/span><\/span>&#8221; -Proverbs 19:17<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Spirit of the Lord is on me, because he has anointed me to proclaim good news to the poor.

Do what it says.&#8221; -James 1:22<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world.&#8221; -James 1:27<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;My brothers and sisters, believers in our glorious Lord Jesus Christ must not show favoritism. Suppose a man comes into your meeting wearing a gold ring and fine clothes, and a poor man in filthy old clothes also comes in. If you show special attention to the man wearing fine clothes and say, &#8216;Here\u2019s a good seat for you,&#8217; but say to the poor man, &#8216;You stand there&#8217; or &#8216;Sit on the floor by my feet,&#8217; have you not discriminated among yourselves and become judges with evil thoughts?&#8221; -James 2:1-4<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Suppose a brother or a sister is without clothes and daily food. If one of you says to them, &#8216;Go in peace; keep warm and well fed,&#8217; but does nothing about their physical needs, what good is it? In the same way, faith by itself, if it is not accompanied by action, is dead.&#8221; -James 2:15-17<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe King will reply, \u2018Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.\u2019\u201d -Matthew 25:40<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;<span id=\"en-NIV-30598\" class=\"text 1John-3-18\">Dear children, let us not love with words or speech but with actions and in truth.<\/span>&#8221; -1 John 3:18<\/p>\n<div class=\"taboola-read-more\">\n<div class=\"copy-paste-block\">\n<p>+++<\/p>\n<p><strong><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"profilePic img alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/scontent-atl3-1.xx.fbcdn.net\/v\/t1.0-1\/c40.40.497.497\/s160x160\/59388_437790448874_881894_n.jpg?oh=812adb250d2d7ddfa54b06d84c40d290&amp;oe=5A91EFA3\" alt=\"your Profile Photo, Image may contain: 1 person, smiling\" width=\"121\" height=\"121\" \/><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Dr. Dillon Burroughs<\/strong> is one of America\u2019s top communicators on today\u2019s Christian issues.
