Showing Love
Isaiah the prophet said,
“Learn to do good; seek justice, correct oppression; bring justice to the fatherless, plead the widow's cause.” Isaiah 1:17.
Sadly I feel here in North America there are many Christians who do not follow what Isaiah is saying here. This has been especially true during the last four years in America. Compassion for the poor, fatherless, widows and oppressed has been lacking.
Politicians calling themselves Christians have refused to use their position of power to help those in need. Some even going as far as calling those who wish to pass legislation to help the poor Communist.
To make matters worse it seems that many Christian leaders particularly in the United states are silent on the matter of poverty within America.
I like what Tony Campolo the American evangelist said,
“These issues are biblical issues: to care for the sick, to feed the hungry, to stand up for the oppressed. I contend that if the evangelical community became more biblical, everything would change.” Tony Campolo.
This is what we as believers in Christ Jesus should be doing. For in showing the love of God in very practical ways we will win souls for Christ.
Please think about it.
