Yesterday Kate posted “Lots Going On.” So why do we help these people? It’s a matter of faith and obedience for us. We believe it is the best way to demonstrate the love of God to the world (thus living out our own faith,) and we are obeying what God has asked us to do.
Much quoted on this blog, but I can’t get enough of it apparently:
Anyone who sets himself up as "religious" by talking a good game is self-deceived. This kind of religion is hot air and only hot air. Real religion, the kind that passes muster before God the Father, is this: Reach out to the homeless and loveless in their plight, and guard against corruption from the godless world.
