Helping the Poor and Distressed
Helping the Poor and Distressed
Dallin H. Oaks
Takeaways:
We have been commanded to do good. We can do this through charitable donations of time and effort. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints puts a large emphasis on helping those in need and is extensively involved in humanitarian efforts around the world. Many other organizations and people not affiliated with the church are similarly involved in doing good.
"As members of the restored Church, we need to be more aware and more appreciative of the service of others."
Quote: "I testify of Jesus Christ whose light and Spirit guide all of the children of God in helping the poor and distressed throughout the world." - Dallin H. Oaks
Questions to Ponder:
How do I support the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in its effort to serve those in need? How do I support other charitable causes?
How can I find out the needs of people in my circle of influence and help meet them?
