1 Timothy 5:16 If any woman who is a believer has dependent widows, she must assist them and the church must not be burdened, so that it may assist those who are widows indeed.
Who is the Church? And why are Christians so financially burdened? Do we not want to be in the position to assist when called upon? There is no excuse for the Church of Christ to be impotent today given our improved wealth and standard of living, as compared to the first century Church for instance.
The more we have, the more we want. Christians need to stop being so fearful when talking about money. They need to avoid beggars in clerical robes and give to the real beggars. They need to help when it is in the power of their hand to do it. Christ will come back and we will reconcile all accounts with Him. Christians also need to tithe. Don't be fooled by my soft way of making that last statement.

What are the chances of that?
What are the chances that a meteor will crash into the earth and end all life?
the probability of occurrence is less than 0.01% in ten thousand years, i.e., less than one chance in one hundred million (10-8) per year. This is roughly equivalent to the probability estimated for mass global extinction of life caused by the impact of an extra-terrestrial body on the Earth (Crowe et al., 2006).

Major and Minor Prophets
Pre-Exilic Prophets ( Isaiah, Jeremiah, Hosea, Amos, Obadiah, Jonah, Micah, Nahum, Habakkuk, Zephaniah)
Exilic/Post-Exilic Prophets ( Ezekiel, Daniel, Joel, Haggai, Zechariah, Malachi)
Note which Propets are which. This will aid in the study of the action-packed tomes.
Women Civil Rulers...
Isaiah 3:12
O My people! Their oppressors are children, And women rule over
them. O My people! Those who guide you lead you astray And
confuse the direction of your paths.
Posted post-election...Even though we will not have a woman VP for the next four years it is still a valid question to ask; what is the Bible's position on this subject?
