What God accepts
In the book of James we read,
“Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world.” James 1:27
Is this the kind of faith you exude? Do you do what you can to help the orphans, widows and others in need?
We here in Canada live in a rich country. Yet there are thousands of people living on the street or who’s incomes are so low that they have to choose between what they pay for, rent of food. Our church and many others in the city where I live reach out to those on the street with food and at this time of year warm clothing.
We deliver thousands of food parcels each month for those in need. And the need never seems to end.
So I ask you if you are a Christian who has a good income with some to spare, are you doing your best to help those in need? For this is what God wants.
At the same time we are told to keep ourselves from being polluted by the world. Our actions should be driven by our faith in God and not influenced by the world.
So what are you doing to help the widows and orphans in their distress?
Please think about it.
