TODAY'S MENTAL IMAGE:Christ on Main Street
IN THESE CHALLENGING TIMES,
CHRISTIAN LEADERS CALL THE CHURCH TO FAITH AND COMPASSION
"Economic problems are moral problems and how we respond speaks about our relationship with God and to the world. ... We have a responsibility to care first for those Jesus called 'the least of these' in society: the poor, homeless, sick,children and the elderly."
Chuck Currie
FURTHER THOUGHTS FOR REFLECTION:
How does your country's politics measure up to Jesus' statement?
* * *
In this time of economic hardship, how do Jesus' words challenge your personal thinking?
* * *
Perhaps there is a blending of Jesus' call with self/family care that comes together to meet scriptural instruction.
* * *
We are always more blessed when Jesus puts the pieces together -- even in economic hard times.
Wayne Anson aka Micah 6:8
