Not Wal-Mart mentality

Wednesday September 6th, James 1: 26 If you claim to be religious but don't control your tongue, you are just fooling yourself, and your religion is worthless. 27 Pure and lasting religion in the sight of God our Father means that we must care for orphans and widows in their troubles, and refuse to let the world corrupt us. You often hear the phrase the God helps those who help themselves. It sounds good, pithy, biblical, the only trouble is that it is not in the Bible. The call of the Bible is to help those who cannot help themselves. A living wage, health care, child care are things that come to mind, Wal-Mart mentality does not. In the end, a nation will be judged not by how many millionaires it has, but how it treats the least, lost and lonely. How are we doing on that?
