As Christians in the world we are faced with all kinds temptation and opportunity to sin. We must, however, live differently than the world. We learn from Jesus what it means to love our neighbor as ourselves from His parable about the Good Samaritan. We are challenged to examine our own lives and see if we truly love others in this way. Christians are often scrutinized by the world and called out as hypocrites. Only when our faith runs through our whole lives and God is King in our own hearts can we impact others for Christ. God gives us the wisdom we need to love and serve those around us. To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.oneplace.com/donate/791/29
