No long paragraphs or motivational speeches. I just have 2 verses I want you to read; think hard about what they say and if they are being practiced in the church today. Don't think about "guilt" or the "I should's" but think about what a great opportunity we have to change the world around us through the actions we need to be taking. Say what you want, but Jesus really was the perfect example of love and compassion - just as are commanded to be to the world today.
"Do not withold good from those to whom it is due when it is in the power of your hand to do so."
"Do not withold good from those to whom it is due when it is in the power of your hand to do so."
Proverbs 3:27
"You have heard that it was said, ‘An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth.’ But I tell you not to resist an evil person. But whoever slaps you on your right cheek, turn the other to him also. If anyone wants to sue you and take away your tunic, let him have your cloak also. And whoever compels you to go one mile, go with him two. Give to him who asks you, and from him who wants to borrow from you do not turn away."
Matthew 5:38-42

Wow! No small commission there. Those words lived out really would create radical changes...
