Subject: WHERE IS YOUR COMPASSION? |
Bible Note: Pastor Floyd, I think you are confusing faith with the arrogance or good genes or good health that may or may not last as long as you think. Allow me to paraphrase a parable. There were two men who went up to the Temple to pray. The first, a robustly healthy man approached the altar and with hands held high said: "I thank you God that I understand how to release the power of my faith and am therefore healthy and strong, unlike the multitude of weaklings in this world like that other man back there. I work out daily and think positive thoughts and would not dream of asking for a common cold. And I give advice to weak on how to become strong and healthy like me whenever I can." The other man, crippled with disease and injuries and bent over in his wheelchair, stayed back and prayed thus: "God, be merciful to me a sinner." I tell you this man went to his house justified rather than the other; for everyone who exalts himself will be humbled and everyone who humbles himself will be exalted. Emmaus |
