Vote out dishonesty. In other days there was no government welfare, no medicaid, no medicare, no health or life insurance, no Salvation Army, no Bethel Thrift Store, no rescue missions, etc. etc. Families HAD to take care of one another, or there simply was no care. In our time, there are so many sources of aid that families turn away their own, because of these other helping hands. People begin to think that they have a right to free help, which is wrong.
Families get out of the habit of taking care of themselves.
It is no sin to be poor. Jesus was poor. Many godly, hard working people have been poor. C. Look down on those who are lazy, or those who waste their money. But in and of itself, poverty is no sin.
