Acts 10
9 On the morrow, as they went on their journey, and drew nigh unto the city, Peter went up upon the housetop to pray about the sixth hour: 10 And he became very hungry, and would have eaten: but while they made ready, he fell into a trance, 11 And saw heaven opened, and a certain vessel descending upon him, as it had been a great sheet knit at the four corners, and let down to the earth: 12 Wherein were all manner of fourfooted beasts of the earth, and wild beasts, and creeping things, and fowls of the air.13 And there came a voice to him, Rise, Peter; kill, and eat. 14 But Peter said, Not so, Lord; for I have never eaten any thing that is common or unclean. 15 And the voice spake unto him again the second time, What God hath cleansed, that call not thou common.
You cannot completely distinguish good people from bad people because you cannot see their hearts. It follows that you cannot be sure if the money coming from them is from good works or not. Are you God that you can discern all the works of every man? Absolutely not. Verse 15 says God has cleansed the wild beasts - it is now just and right to utilize the money given for the purposes of education, social work and humanitarian work.

But this does not justify the evil works of rich men. Remember to go through the eye of the needle.



More on the Sabbath
God is Lord of the Sabbath meaning us people who are created in the image of God can tell our rest day. Say you will schedule and organize your activities. Your body will tell if its time to rest. Sometimes we have absences cause we are sick. Sometimes we schedule exercise activities. Sometimes schedule for watching basketball and etcetera. It depends on your work load.
