The Compassion Trend?

From Fuel by Jimmy Larche:

Let’s face it. Compassion is sexy today.

It’s talked about in every arena from politics to religion.

Many churches have been making headway the last couple of years into areas of compassion and mercy ministries acknowledging the body of Christ has failed in these areas severely in recent decades. More and more churches are now getting enlisted in social justice, mercy ministries, recovery programs, and outreach to the poor.

I’m glad to see this movement, though I regret it didn’t begin earlier. Now that it’s fashionable, it seems to have made it more attractive for Christians, especially with the younger generation of evangelicals.

I’ve always believed that Christianity without compassion is no Christianity at all.

Compassion is what moved Jesus throughout the gospels. (read the rest)

Let’s keep compassion from becoming just a trendy thing to do.  Find out how you can exercise compassion toward high-risk kids right here at home.
