“Government Funding”

Categories: GOVERNMENT, RELATIONSHIPS
Is it wrong to seek money from the government if you’re disabled and you’re a christian?

Sincerely,
Financial Aid

Dear Financial Aid,

Jesus addressed this issue by simply saying, “render unto Caesar the things that are Caesar’s, and render unto God the things that are God’s” (Mk 12:17).  When it comes to paying taxes, receiving tax aid, etc., the Bible says that there is nothing wrong with a christian paying their dues (or receiving them).
