Matthew 25
This is one of the scariest chapters in the entire Bible for me. Jesus says that at the end times He will separate the sheep from the goats. His judgment will be based on whether or not we have fed the hungry, clothed the naked, and sheltered the homeless. I must admit that I am seriously lacking in these areas. To balance benevolence with good stewardship is a tricky business. However, I think we would be much better off erring on the side of compassion, even when we are being taken advantage of. While there are those who either cannot be helped, or are promoting a scam, unless we can know with certainty, it is better that we offer our help.
