I heard someone say the other day that the idea of giving to the church as a charitable donation is harming how Christians see their obligations as stewards of God's money. The story of Boaz and Ruth are a great example of the provision God required the Israelites to make on behalf of the poor (i.e., charity). This was completely separate from the tithes and offerings. I think we clearly have an obligation to do both.

I'm sorry I didn't see it sooner. I firmly believe we are called, as Christian entrepreneurs, to share some of what we earn with the poor. This is not only for entrepreneurs, but for everyone. However, as a Christian entrepreneur, I feel we have been given the opportunity to earn income and be able to share it. Brad,

This is a great post. I'm sorry I didn't see it sooner.

I firmly believe we are called, as Christian entrepreneurs, to share some of what we earn with the poor. This is not only for entrepreneurs, but for everyone. However, as a Christian entrepreneur, I feel we have been given the opportunity to earn income and be able to share it.

I love the book of Ruth. Ruth and Boaz are both so inspirational to me. So many great lessons in such a little book. Thanks Rita. I love the book of Ruth.

I call it the word of God. Thank you once again for a great post. I like how you apply the word to our lives today, especially for us Christian entreprenurs. As I study the bible more and more, I'm learning application. Some would call helping the poor socialism. I call it the word of God. Thank you once again for a great post.
