Shared until all are fed

In the third sermon in our series on Faith and Food, Pastor Phil Kniss preached on the topic, "Faith, Food, and Money." He focused on questions of food and justice, from the standpoint of the Bible's frequent insistence that God's people share food with the hungry, and their resources with the poor. God's desire, emphasized in both the Old and New Testaments, are that the poor are given sufficient food and other basic necessities of life, that they may live a full and meaningful life. Regardless what economic theory or food production and distribution model is to our liking, we should defend it on biblical grounds: "Are the poor being lifted up?" "Are the hungry being fed?"
