i was told once, that african tribes people when they meet up will ask of the other. "how are the children?" the idea being, that if the children are being treated well then the society is doing it's part to care for one another.
compelling is the discussion among friends at mcb. now josh has gotten involved sharing some great thoughts on how we treat the least of our society. there is a lot i can pull from.. since we talk faith here a few times a month i thought i'd share this blurb.
Christians should care about everyone who is suffering. (This is the only faith-specific item on the list.) Followers of Christ shouldn’t dismiss someone’s pain because that person made poor decisions (we all have) or because someone is not an American citizen or legal resident. The Gospel message is one of grace and one that desires the redemption and well-being of all people, regardless of who they are or what they have done. Jesus healed people without asking why they were sick. As a Christian, I think that this message of grace and redemption is one that even non-Christians can embrace.
