About this listen

In this episode of At Home with Phil, Phil lays out a simple biblical claim: how you treat the poor is a moral issue God actively judges. Drawing from Deuteronomy and Proverbs, Phil explains that withholding wages, exploiting labor, or shutting your ears to the poor is not neutral behavior. Scripture treats it as guilt before God. Poverty does not excuse laziness, but wealth does not excuse indifference. The Bible assumes the poor will always exist. What it does not allow is Christians ignoring them, outsourcing responsibility to the government, or justifying neglect with excuses. The question is not whether poverty is complicated. The question is whether God is watching how you respond.
