The Bullet of Compassion: A Ministry Open to All

We resist, if not resent, anyone who tries to penetrate the fog of our private world, our self-centered thoughts and activities. The apostle could not have been more accurate when he said, “In the last days … men shall be lovers of their own selves” (II Timothy 3:2a).

What will we tell God on Judgment Day? I can hear us now, “… When saw we thee hungry, or thirsty, or a stranger, or naked or sick, or in prison and did not minister unto thee?” Then shall He say, “Inasmuch as ye did it not to one of the lease of these, ye did it not to me” (Matthew 25:44-45).

Even as the Son of man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister … but whosoever will be chief (the greatest, the most respected and admire), let him (or her) be your minister. (Matthew 20:28 and Matthew 20:26)
