Giving

With a severe hurricane afflicting Florida and an endless barrage of one disaster after another, where do you contribute (when you do contribute — none of us can keep up with them all) to disaster relief? Or perhaps your giving is totally designated toward organizations (like a mission’s organization) that are not noted for significant relief work. Relief for victims from the war in Ukraine, BTW, would also be count as relief.

Jesus said in Matthew 6:2,

“Thus, when you give to the needy, sound no trumpet before you, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, that they may be praised by others. Truly, I say to you, they have received their reward.”
