Restoring Biblical Responsibility in Welfare

Published

Faith Facts

  • The Bible calls on families, communities, and churches to care for those unable to work, not the government.
  • Work is part of God’s design for humanity and is foundational to Christian living.
  • When the state replaces family and church in charity, these institutions lose their God-given role and strength.

Miriam Cates stresses that while those who are unable to work deserve care, Scripture assigns this duty to families and the church, not the government. True Christian charity flows from communities and the body of Christ, encouraging compassion and responsibility under God’s guidance.

Kemi Badenoch recently emphasized to the Conservative Christian Fellowship that upholding the dignity of work is a biblical command. Citing 1 Timothy 5:8, she reminded believers that care for one’s household is a matter of faith and witness.

“Anyone who does not provide for his own household… is worse than an unbeliever.” (1 Timothy 5:8)

The Bible’s model demonstrates support for the vulnerable through direct action by families and spiritual community, not bureaucratic systems. Dependence on the state for welfare undercuts biblical values and weakens the vital bonds that hold families and neighborhoods together.

Government’s core biblical purpose is to uphold order and justice, as seen in passages like 1 Peter 2:14 and Romans 13:4. While righteous rulers should protect the needy from exploitation, state-enforced wealth redistribution is not commanded in Scripture.

Overexpansion of welfare has contributed to the decline of family cohesion and church life. As the state swells, many are left isolated, and the blessings of work and community fade, leading to increased loneliness and dependency.

Policies that undermine the incentives for marriage, hard work, and child-rearing run counter to the biblical vision of flourishing. God intends for men and women to find purpose in work, family, and generous service to one another.

“Be fruitful and increase in number; fill the earth and subdue it.” (Genesis 1:28)

Christian believers must reclaim their sacred obligation to care for the poor through generous love and service, not by outsourcing this call to the government. Restoring biblical charity is key to reawakening faith, family, and freedom in our nation.

Banyamulenge Face Deadly Drone Persecution

Faith Facts

  • Banyamulenge in Minembwe, DRC, protest incessant drone attacks and bombings killing unarmed civilians since early 2026.
  • Regime enforces ethnic cleansing via sieges denying food, medicine, and essentials, plus church destructions in Uvira.

The clouds wept as Banyamulenge gathered in despair against aerial terror mirroring ancient oppressions condemned in Scripture.

Biblical justice demands believers defend these vulnerable families targeted for their land and heritage.

In a blood-soaked region, multinationals prioritize critical minerals over innocent lives sacrificed since colonial times.

God calls His people to rescue the oppressed, as Psalm 82 urges: “Defend the weak and the fatherless; uphold the cause of the poor and the oppressed.”

Faithful patriots, pray boldly for Banyamulenge freedom, amplify their voices, and press leaders for intervention upholding Christian values.

Faith's Triumph: Bible Reaches Greenland

Faith Facts

  • Norse settlers established Christianity in Greenland by 1000 AD, building a cathedral in 1126.
  • Rev. Hans Egede’s 1721 mission reintroduced faith to Inuit, inventing their alphabet.
  • Kleinschmidt Bible, first full version in Greenlandic, published in 1900.

Christian presence flickered across Greenland’s icy vastness for centuries since Viking longboats arrived with Erik the Red.

Norse explorers from there carried the Gospel to North America’s shores, marking earliest continental witness.

Rumors of lost Catholics spurred Egede’s quest under Denmark’s king, shifting to Inuit evangelism amid ruins.

Moravians, Poul Egede, Otto Fabricius, and Danish Bible Society persisted through fires and revisions, spreading the Good News.

Celebrate this legacy, patriots: champion Bible missions to defend faith, family, and freedom worldwide.

India's Christians Denied Burial Unless Convert

Faith Facts

  • Villagers in Kanker District block Sambai Mandavi’s burial, demanding family reconvert to Hinduism.
  • Supreme Court orders halt exhumations, yet fresh threats defy justice for tribal believers.
  • 23 burial attacks in Chhattisgarh 2025 reveal systematic war on Christian dignity.

In Chhattisgarh, India, tribal extremists prevented 34-year-old Christian Sambai Mandavi’s burial after her Feb. 24 death, claiming it defiles their deities and land.

Her husband Kamlesh faces assault threats and forced exhumation if buried in Amodi village cemetery or family land.

United Christian Forum footage shows exhumations like Benur village remains cremated after 20 years, turning grief into nightmare.

Families discover empty graves or trek miles, pressured to abandon Christ for village rites.

“This incident occurs just days after the Supreme Court issued an interim order halting exhumations,” the Progressive Christian Alliance stated.

“Yet, the persistence of such threats underscores a blatant disregard for judicial directives.”

“The Chhattisgarh government’s calculated silence speaks volumes,” said John Dayal.

“This is not just about dignity in death; it’s about whether tribal Christians belong to their own villages.”

Petitions decry police complicity in desecrations, violating equality and life with dignity under God’s law.

Stand with persecuted brethren through prayer and advocacy, upholding biblical honor for the dead and freedom to worship Christ boldly.
