The Least of These

The value of the human life is undervalued in our society. Recently I’ve been thinking quite a bit about how there are so many children that are in foster care. Some times it is unavoidable due to wild circumstances, but most often these kids are being abused and neglected.

As a follower of Christ, we’re called to care for the widows and orphans. These are the down and out. Those who have lost all hope. In Psalm 80 there is a call to defense for the fatherless, oppressed, poor and needy. More needs to be done. It’s the goodness of God that leads men to repentance. While this goodness is wrapped up in the salvation from our sin offered through Christ, we must live out the love God and goodness God has shown to us. Love your neighbor as yourself…
