I agree DrD, the best example we have is the life and ministry of Christ while here on earth.
Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself.Mt.22:39 last part.
How better to love thy neighbor than to help him/her when they are down?
I read about a series of meetings that wrere presented in the inner city.
Not many came.
When a minister asked a young person why, this was his response:
We get all kinds of preachers downnhere preaching about the 'LOVE' of Jesus.
They preach and pontificate for a few days then leave thinking how they done so much.
we don't need that kind of love, show us some love with skin on.
Love with skin on, feeding the hungry, clothing the naked, housing the homeless, doing what needs to be done, not just praying about it and thinking that your work is done.
Praying is just the first step.
When you get the impression to speak to sonmeone, do it.
Start out on neutral ground, find out where they stand and then start sharing as the Holy Spirit leads.
Remember, God enables the called, he won't ask you to do something withoout providing the necessary tools.
