What elements should be found in all church benevolence programs?
A church benevolence program should not be a halfhearted effort. It should be established and conducted according to a standard of excellence that honors and glorifies God. Thus, a thorough church benevolence program should include financial counseling, helping people find work, and, if necessary, providing them with goods and services. “So then, whether you eat or drink, or whatever you may do, do all for the honor and glory of God” (1 Corinthians 10:31 AMP).
