Lent: Season of Almsgiving


Lent: Season of Almsgiving … REALLY !? Does one have to learn a new language when you decide to explore Christianity ?
Do the people who we would like to see more of in our churches even know what alms is … or should that be are ? I wonder how many GCSE students (or matric students, or college students, or any level of school attenders) used the word "alms" in any language exam they wrote recently. Well, never mind that, I wonder how many people who've actually been in churches for a long time, or perhaps even for most of their lives, really understand what Jesus meant by almsgiving and then put that into practice.
This video is a teaching I prepared based on John Wesley's sermon on the same subject.
