Welfare - Biblically there is a difference between harsh and indiscriminate compassion (Prov 4:27).  Extreme liberalism or extreme conservatism both yield undesirable results.  Loving our neighbor as ourselves (Matt 22:37-39) and seeking His kingdom (Matt 6:33) provide the foundational perspective needed to help the downtrodden and point them heavenward.
