Relief

The disciples determined that according to their ability, each would send relief to the believers living in Judea.

 - From Acts 11

Yes . . . so much evil comes from nations - such that nations will figure prominently in the coming judgment, as criminals charged, and convicted. 

Here, during the reign of Claudius Caesar, and of Herod in Judea, there was a famine. The response to the famine was immediate on the part of the Church in Jerusalem. Everybody there, all of them, gave to support the relief funds. 

As has been the case down through history, the Church responds effectively to the urgent needs of others, throughout the world. A strong and unified Church does what no one else - no government, no NATION, can get food and medicine to the suffering, like the Body of Christ. It's provable by Science. And indeed, it is so much a certainty, that it may be called scientific fact. The Church is the world's greatest responder to the human needs of the world. 

It is the case today. Global Methodism has a well-oiled machine that sends people and supplies in the wake of hurricanes and famine. 

Catholic charities throughout the world have an abundance of resources, that are put to work as needed. 

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints may have the most enviable of operations, and can provide relief almost instantly, to anywhere on the planet, as needed.

Billy Graham's ministry has access to doctors and funds that can be put to use.

The only thing stopping any of these great charitable organizations, is government. It has always been government, and always will be. Yes, "government." The same government that promises to do so many good things for the people, but that instead lines the pockets of lobbyists, politicians, and bureaucrats. That government. They blocked the Mormons in getting support down to the US's Southern border, during the reported crisis in the years 2017-2021 (which got worse beginning in 2021; but was no longer reported as problematic). They blocked the Billy Graham operation from supporting doctors in New York City, at the start of the covid situation. 

There's something they don't like about the church - but it probably goes back to someone getting their feelings hurt over a discussion with a Christian about such topics as servant-leadership and being unselfish. 

And they did it two thousand years ago. Herod was still smarting because John the Baptist had called out his corrupt and lascivious behavior. When there was a famine, he needed a scapegoat, and chose the young Church for that. And in so doing, took out an organization that was actually doing something. 

Which made the problem worse. But gave the government someone to blame. 

Just like in 2022.
