Any Lazaruses On Your Front Porch?
This week's Immediate Word uses Luke 16:19-31 to tell how easy it is for most of us to think of ourselves as poor or needy, and to avoid any meaningful contact with the truly poor and truly needy in our day-to-day lives. Thom Shuman writes about many issues that affect us, but especially how these issues affect the poor. How many of us worry about how the rising cost of living hurts the underprivileged? How many of us seek ways to help the needy? Stephen McCutchan writes the response this week. Illustrations, the worship resource, and a children's sermon are also included.
