What's more, there is no need to, for somehow along the way, needs you never even voice are met by that very church you serve. God chooses you, then you choose the "we" of the church and its people.<br /><br />Society doesn't willingly cater to "moochers." Neither should the church. It's not a responsible thing to help people wallow in their own folly and weakness. Compassion is reaching out and helping people walk through the doors of the church knowing that they have a place to be loved and an opportunity to discover that their needs will change to the kind that can be met simply by giving of themselves.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
