CQOD: 10/27/06 -- Mooneyham: evangelism and social action
Christian Quotation of the Day
October 27, 2006Peter looked straight at [the man lame from birth], as did John. Then Peter said, "Look at us!" So the man gave them his attention, expecting to get something from them. Then Peter said, "Silver or gold I do not have, but what I have I give you. In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, walk." Taking him by the right hand, he helped him up, and instantly the man's feet and ankles became strong. 8He jumped to his feet and began to walk. Then he went with them into the temple courts, walking and jumping, and praising God.
-- Acts 3:4-8 (ESV)
Quotation:
Evangelism and social action: one is not synonymous with the other. They are the twin mandates of the New Testament, and to neglect one is not only to cripple the Church and make its message less credible but to do violence to the New Testament teachings.
... Stan Mooneyham, former president, World Vision US
Quiet time reflection:
Lord, send Your Spirit to show me the needs of people.
