My wife & I taught for 3 yrs in a "Christian" school that paid its teachers paupers' wages. One lady on the school board could not understand why we did not sign up for food stamps. She considered it a standard part of the school's compensation package.
Not all churches & ministries display such a blatantly unbiblical attitude, but they ignore Scripture's social injunctions in more subtle ways.
Below, is the second installment of Joel McDurmon's video discussion of the subject. (P.S. If you haven't already, don't forget to read the article.)

Obamacare: Who's to Blame?
Democrats? Socialists? How about the Church?
In this article, Joel McDurmon says that if the church had been ministering to the poor & needy as Scripture says, there would be no vacuum for the Welfare State to fill.
The video below complements the article; it is not a substitute for it. (Please read the article.)
In both the video & the article, he comes down pretty hard on Martin Luther. My own position is to honor Luther for all that he got right, and to say we need to fill in the gaps where he may have goofed. (Christians in future centuries will hopefully do the same for us.)
Continued tomorrow.
