How can we be fulfilling the mission of Christ if we're not doing our job? http://deeperwaters.wordpress.com/20...-own-any-more/

1) "Abscond"? I think you mean "give our responsibilities to the government." Maybe better, "We've let the government take over the helping of people in need."

2) Taxes rob Christians of purchasing power or, if you prefer, donating power. Not only that, some people might think like this way, "Good grief, the government is spending that much money on aid! I think I'll let the government take care of needs and live on what I have left."

Yep. That is the problem.

Indeed. Taxes discourage spending and growth. Build up the economy and there can be more donating.
