Scripture Post #836: *HOME-PROVISION*

1st Timothy 5:8: "But if any provide not for his own, and specially for those of his own house, he hath denied the faith, and is worse than an infidel."

This Scripture was from Apostle Paul, unto Timothy, his son in the faith (1st Tim. 1:1-2).

It is an awesome thing to do to give and provide for others. Some go through great acts of selflessness when providing for others—strangers even. But we *must* have balance when we provide—*HOME-PROVISION* must be put before the provision of those outside the home. In some cases both home-provision and the provision of those outside the home are neglected. This is also wrong. In any event, the home must be covered with provision. For even infidels (sinners) do this. If we as the Church neglect to do something as basic as home-provision, we are counted "…worse than an infidel."
