Treat everyone the same
|
Our readings this weekend remind us that we are to care for all people equally and not show favoritism to those who are rich. We are called upon to treat everyone with love and respect. It is a very important message for today’s church, but one very few are willing to listen to.
|
Isaiah and Mark remind us that God, thru his son Jesus, will come to heal those most in need of help. Those who are downtrodden and abused. Those who are in most need of being treated as human. This is the message we have lost as Christians.
|
You see, everyone is a child of the Divine. No one you meet is without a spark of the Divine within them. So when you treat others as less than yourself, you are treating the Divine (God) as being less than yourself.
|
This is your call to re-evaluate your life and how you approach those around you. It is time for Christians to stop giving into the lures of the world, to stop giving in to the hate and bigotry around them, and to work to follow the teachings of our Lord.
|
To remind you of the reading from Joshua two weeks ago, who will you serve? As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord!
|
I hope to see you Sunday!

Our Parish Outreaches
Human First Outreach
This ministry focuses on providing food and toiletry supplies to the homeless in the Augusta, Georgia area. We provide feminine hygiene products to those that need them and food for the pets of our homeless friends and family.
|
We are working to bring a human touch to this ministry as we encourage volunteers to engage with the individuals we are helping in a compassionate and loving way. We expect all volunteers to refrain from proselytizing and preaching to those we serve. Instead, take a hint from Hamilton “talk less, listen more”.
|
If you would like to donate to this important ministry, you can visit our Amazon wishlist and purchase items to be sent directly to us.
