I hope some of you penny ante critics know how utterly petty and pathetic your little nit picks sound.

But has he ever done something like that? Has he or any of the other guys who are leaving taken up a generous offering for charity or sponsored a soup kitchen on Thanksgiving or established a home for unwed mothers or opened their family life centers for a mobile health clinic to offer free or low cost medical attention for the poor? Why is this kind of thing not focused on in our ranks?
I can't remember our churches actually reaching out to provide for the physical needs of the less fortunate in the community.
We did provide much love and support for those who regularly attended church. If there was a death in the family, the ladies were on the ball bringing covered dishes and the men helping in any way they could. The congregation surrounds their own with care and concern. That is wonderful and good, but what about those outside the doors of the church?
Just a thought...
