The body of Christ at Northcreek Church will follow the Lord’s calling by meeting the urgent needs of the orphan. The truth of God’s word is filled with His care for the orphans and His commands to help those who are helpless. Below are just a few references…
‘You are the helper of the fatherless…’ Ps 10:14
‘Defend the cause of the fatherless, plead the case of the widow.’ Isaiah 1:17
‘Whoever welcomes a little child like this in My name, welcomes Me.’ Mt 18:5
'Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world.' James 1:27
‘For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me…..I tell you the truth, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers of mine, you did for me.' Mt 5:35-40
‘Anyone, then, who knows the good he ought to do and doesn't do it, sins.’ James 4:17
