Hello, John and Doves,No, Tina, that last video about helping the poor and forgotten was just bread cast upon the waters. [Ecclesiastes 11:1]All I know is that the video moved me to evaluate my life in view of Christ's soon coming, as I believe we all should. [1 John 3:3]As it is written,Faith and Deeds14What good is it, my brothers and sisters, if someone claims to have faith but has no deeds? Can such faith save them? 15Suppose a brother or a sister is without clothes and daily food. 16If one of you says to them, “Go in peace; keep warm and well fed,” but does nothing about their physical needs, what good is it? 17In the same way, faith by itself, if it is not accompanied by action, is dead.
18But someone will say, “You have faith; I have deeds.”
Show me your faith without deeds, and I will show you my faith by my deeds. 19You believe that there is one God. Good! Even the demons believe that—and shudder.
20You foolish person, do you want evidence that faith without deeds is useless ? 21Was not our father Abraham considered righteous for what he did when he offered his son Isaac on the altar? 22You see that his faith and his actions were working together, and his faith was made complete by what he did. 23And the scripture was fulfilled that says, “Abraham believed God, and it was credited to him as righteousness,” and he was called God’s friend. 24You see that a person is considered righteous by what they do and not by faith alone.
25In the same way, was not even Rahab the prostitute considered righteous for what she did when she gave lodging to the spies and sent them off in a different direction? 26As the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without deeds is dead.
So, no, this site does not itself feed the poor, etc.
Individual Doves may, when moved by the Holy Spirit.
We all merely want to welcome the last member of the Bride into our fellowship (or any fellowship).
Paul says this best:
19For though I am free from all, I have made myself a servant to all, that I might win more of them. 20To the Jews I became as a Jew, in order to win Jews. To those under the law I became as one under the law (though not being myself under the law) that I might win those under the law. 21To those outside the law I became as one outside the law (not being outside the law of God but under the law of Christ) that I might win those outside the law. 22To the weak I became weak, that I might win the weak. I have become all things to all people, that by all means I might save some. 23I do it all for the sake of the gospel, that I may share with them in its blessings.
~Blessings,
Mike

Your post with all the songs you sent was great. I enjoyed them ! and the verses you sent.
But I had a question on the post you sent saying "good work" , like congratulations, to the 5 doves
and the video was ...for the works of feeding and clothing the poor, hungry, orphans and widows and caring for them. I never thought of 5 doves as like a organization that does that ? Like the Red Cross or such ? Maybe individuals do that, but as a whole, 5 doves are to me people from all walks of life that just want to go to Heaven and be in their true home and long for the Rapture. So I just wanted to try and understand your post ? Sorry If I am not asking right. I was just confused ?
Blessings
