Nearly half the world population is living at less than 10 dollars a day where majority of them probably in Africa continent and war torn countries. What is your opinion on finding the solution in solving the world hunger in our world today, is it possible for charity organization to end world hunger or we need a better way to tackle this problem instead of just depend on generosity of individual ?

To stop world hunger the churches need to go back to their roots. Instead of building big church buildings and pastors buying bigger homes and cars they use the money that they are collecting and do what Jesus tell us to do. Which is to help the poor, feed the hungry and help the widows.
Unless these churches do what the bible says we will continue to see the world in the state that it is in. But it first has to start with us. Attending church and turning a blind eye is wrong. We need to let those in authority know that it is time for a change.

Thank for your opinion. You really make a very valid point about churches nowadays. I see some of the churches having magnificent buildings and pastors are living very well off but not much works have been done to tackle world hunger, probably it is not on the top of these churches priority of help list.
I am sure churches around the world can do a lot more to help since their organizations had members that are extremely well off financially, unfortunately the fight on world hunger very much depend on charity from country and individual donor only.

Yeah that is so true. Today I was warn to start attending church and because of this two of my christian friends asked me why I am not attending church. My reply was that the church is not doing what the bible ordained to do. One of them answer me and say 'the bible says the wheat and thorns shall grow together until the day of harvest'. I said this is the reason by the world is like this especially my country that has so many churches and living in an hostile environment.
If we continue to attend church and just applied this to our life the poor in our society will never get the help that they should receive from the church. This is the reason I look down on christmas. It is false love why not do it every month of the year.
