Caring for the Poor Through Hearts and Hands
Sandor Paull of Vineyard Community Church urges repentance to open hearts for generosity toward the poor, then acts of love through time, energy, and money. He cites Psalm 51 and Jesus with the rich young ruler, arguing authentic care comes from God’s change, not obligation, and has eternal significance. Music review notes diverse sounds on Mark Schultz’s Stories & Songs.
