In response to Respect For Progressives posted by Brother_Jones:
.
What issues are important to you? Apparently not life, death, resurrection of Jesus Christ, and the Second Coming? Or whether Jesus is God. Not worth your time anyway.
.
Then what would be a battle issue for you?
.
.
What is an issue to me:
.
Who is hungry
.
Who is naked
.
Who is homeless
.
Who is in prison
.
Who is alone and friendless
.
Who is in despair
.
Who is in physical pain
.
Who is being tortured, exploited, discriminated against, abused, neglected, hated, abandoned, or otherwise mistreated
.
Where is there poverty
.
Where is there injustice
.
Where is there war
.
Where is there ignorance
.
Where is there fear
.
Where is there oppression
.
AND, most important of all:
.
what can I do about it, today, to make a difference
.
for I was hungry and you gave Me food; I was thirsty and you gave Me drink; I was a stranger and you took Me in; I was naked and you clothed Me; I was sick and you visited Me; I was in prison and you came to Me.'
"Then the righteous will answer Him, saying, 'Lord, when did we see You hungry and feed You, or thirsty and give You drink? When did we see You a stranger and take You in, or naked and clothe You? Or when did we see You sick, or in prison, and come to You?' And the King will answer and say to them, 'Assuredly, I say to you, inasmuch as you did it to one of the least of these My brethren, you did it to Me.' (Matthew 25:35-40, NKJV)

peace and love,
