Why are you (me) doing this year?????
People still ask the question: "Am I my brothers' keeper?"... (Gen 4:8-9)
Are you going to be brave enough to say YES?
Levitcus 19:18 clearly tells us to love our neighbour (people) as we do ourselves... but do we? The LORD himself gave these commands! As the body of Christ we need to be more concerned for our brothers and sisters... We are so guilty in that we see the anguish of their souls and do nothing!!!!
The book of Acts is a good model of a caring community... "And all who believed were together and they had all things in common. And they were selling their possessions and belongings and distributing the proceeds to all, as they had need" (Acts 2:44-45)... The responsibility is ours to be concerned for others!
Jesus gave Christians the Great Commission to go into the entire world (Matt28:19-20)... I could not ignore my command... SO... If someone asks, "Are you your brothers' keeper?"... I will answer with an astounding... YES!!!
