D&C 56

We are regularly instructed to care for the poor and the needy.  Yet at the same time, the Lord also warns -

"Wo unto you poor men, whose hearts are not broken, whose spirits are not contrite, and whose bellies are not satisfied, and whose hands are not stayed from laying hold upon other men's goods, whose eyes are full of greediness, and who will not labor with your own hands!"  (Doctrine and Covenants | Section 56:17)

This is part of the Church's welfare doctrine and self-reliance.
