I've been reading an awesome book by Francis Chan called Crazy Love. He is an amazing person. For each chapter there are video's to go along with the chapter (for group studies). Watching this video made me think of the topic I am talking about today. I will post the video below.
In many other blogs there has been this topic of discussion about who will take care of my wife or family when the husband dies (so this is nothing new). We all know where ntcc stands. They won't do a crying thing. They don't care. All they care about is while the husband is alive he is working hard, giving all his time, blood, sweat, tears, and finances to them. They don't want the husband saving for his family in the event of his passing. They may try to say that isn't true but it is. They keep you so poor with disallowing the wife from working (read Proverbs 31 without listening to their twisted version and see the virtous woman had a job!) But the man is the only person allowed to work and seldom are they able to get a really good job because they have to give all their time to ntcc. So with the husband doing his best to make ends be met, how in the world is one to try to save for the future? They promote if you have money give more. Give until it hurts we've all heard it said (I can attest to hearing that more times than I can remember).
I could say more but it's already in several blogs out there. For anyone who has gone through this I'd like to see you share your story in the comments if you would. I think the more it's out there for people to read, the more visible it is, someone may read it and help them realize the truth.
To add some scripture to this, the following shows if you don't provide for your own family you're worse than an infidel. It also shows us we should visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction or need.
1 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.
James 1:27 - Pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this, To visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep himself unspotted from the world.
chap 8 video from Crazy Love by Francis Chan (worth the watch, less than 7 minutes) This guy really challenges his audience in every aspect in the Word (thru each chapter of his book). I love how these people step up. They will help take care of each other if someone passed away. I know people who are men and women of God who will do the same too. If a wife who never worked a day in her life because she married at age 16, 18, whatever loses her husband at say age 55, who is going to hire her? What will pennies from the government due for her? Take her in. Put a roof over her head. Help her find a job, get her on her feet, allow her to stay a while and save. When she's ready, help her find a place for herself. That is what God would want you to do. Ntcc doesn't want you to care. Why not care? My Father in heaven does!
PS: If the video doesn't open for some reason, go to You Tube, type in Frances Chan Crazy Love Chapter 8

Acts 2 44-45
And all that believed were together, and had all things common;
And sold their possessions and goods, and parted them to all [men], as every man had need.

Can you imagine this ever happening in the ntcc? There are a few sincere people in the ntcc that I can actually picture participating in something like this but not current leaders of the ntcc. They hate this scripture and you will never see the money hungry, power hungry ntcc elite share anything with anyone. They might sell you a dress for 35 bucks, or hand out free bread that was donated by Fred Meyers, but if it costs them anything they won't lift a finger to help their brethren. They are so tight that when they open their wallets, George Washington squints.
