We support cruel regimes, deal with countries that use forced child labor and we visit nations that employ children as prostitutes. When God told the people Judea and Israel through Isaiah to Repent, He said (Isaiah 1:17) “Learn to do good seek justice, reprove the ruthless Defend the orphan, plead for the widow.” He continues with (vs.18) ” Come now, and let us reason together.” He then proceeds to tell them of the transgressions against God and he ends with: (Isaiah 1:23) “…They do not bring justice to the fatherless ant the widow’s cause does not come to them.”Īs did Israel, we ignore the cause of the widows and do not serve justice to the orphans, but we bring satisfaction to the “princes” of commerce and with false “righteousness”, seek to justify their sins with our own misgiving. The message that is being placed here is that the churches need to step up and take charge of the caring for the widow, orphans and the homeless sojourners that fill our towns and cities. Because of the many that do not know the Lord and who unreachable to the Word, the government should reach out to them. There are many organizations that are not Church Affiliated that are doing wonderful work but it still falls upon the Children to set aside a portion to care for the needs of the community. But it also takes a commitment by the people to be honest with their tithe and their offerings.

Because the Nations have been under the Law of God, they should share in the burden for those who can not be helped by a church. It has always been clear to me that the responsibility of caring for the neglected has rested on the churches. 5),Who executes justice for the oppressed(vs.7) The LORD protects the strangers He supports the fatherless and the widow But he thwarts the way of the wicked.
