Yes, we must remember the poor in spirit and feed them the Bread of life and give them the living water and clothe them in Christ so that they are no longer naked, hungry and thirsty and die.
We must remember the widows who's husband is Dead rather it be spiritually or physically. If she is a believing widow who has an unbelieving husband she is a spiritual widow as she has no godly head of the family to guide her so she needs more spiritual guidance from the Lord.
If she is a believing widow with a husband who has passed on and has not remarried a Believing husband only and renmains faithful to Christ(not living a life of sin), the church needs to provide physical needs as the Lord leads us to do for she has no husband to support her.
But if she is an unbelieving widow, she is not only an orphan who has no godly Father but again we need to lead this widow to have a husband in Christ as the head of her household so that she not only has a covering, but also a Father to help raise her up.
All unbeliever's rather girls, boys, men or women that do not know the Lord are Orphans as they have no Father to guide and cover them. They have been abandened and we need to give them the gospel so that they can have the chance to find their way home and as a prodical son return to the Father's house where things are good.
Paul said to remember the poor was the very thing he intended to do. He did not hand out physical needs he brought the poor souls to Christ and taught them how to be renewed from death to life. That is why he was called the tent maker because his God inspired teachings teach us how to tear down our old corrupted tent of this fallen flesh and raise us up into tent's/body/tabernacles filled with the Word and Spirit of God to be reborn into the image of Christ who is the image of the invisable God as a son of God.
Man can stand on the corner and hand out goodies all day long to fallen man and it changes nothing. We only help them to remain in thier life of misery IN comfort, nothing more. And we set ourselves up to be their god because they give us the glory for they know nothing of God even if they say they thank God. And they will be looking for you again tommorrow with your handouts never coming to the knoweledge of Truth.
God does not make those who reject Him and His Word to live in comfort and we should not give them False hope either, they are headed for destruction..
