When it comes to humanitarian aid or assistance, or to social justice work, does the Bible put the responsibility on the church as an organization?  Or does it put the responsibility on church members as individuals or families?   Let's see what we can discover from scripture.

Isaiah 58:6-7 KJV
Is not this the fast that I have chosen? to loose the bands of wickedness, to undo the heavy burdens, and to let the oppressed go free, and that ye break every yoke? Is it not to deal thy bread to the hungry, and that thou bring the poor that are cast out to thy house? when thou seest the naked, that thou cover him; and that thou hide not thyself from thine own flesh?

The Key Principles of Effective Bible Study is a resource which outlines core concepts shown in the Scriptures that will help you to better understand many Biblical themes and doctrines.  We have an extended, 24-part podcast series on these principles, and a condensed, 9-part series called God's Precious Word, that is based on the same resource.

We also recommend that you check out the True Wisdom podcast which I co-host with Robert Baker -- a different format for Bible Study.

Finally, check out these awesome Bible Maps!

We pray that all of these resources will be very helpful to you in your Bible Studies.
