A preview of May's email-only article.
The Bible is replete with commandments and admonitions to care for the less fortunate. King Solomon wrote in Proverbs 21:13 that "whoever closes his ear to the cry of the poor will himself call out and not be answered." And Jesus echoed a similar message with the parable of Lazarus and the rich man in Luke 16.
But Jesus pushed the issue beyond material wealth, which gives Solomon's proverb another level of meaning. And that's exactly what we're discussing in this month's email-only article.

Here's a snippet of this month's exclusive:
This is a chilling parable for those who heed not the words of Solomon and ignore the cries of the poor. And Abraham's mention of Moses and the Prophets reinforces the point above. God not only cares about the less fortunate, but he also commanded the people of Israel numerous times and in multiple ways to take care of them.But I bring up the parable here only to show that Solomon's proverb contains a spiritual dimension as well.
