Help the needy not the greedy

Saturday September 7th, Luke 14: 12 Then Jesus said to his host, "When you give a luncheon or dinner, do not invite your friends, your brothers or relatives, or your rich neighbors; if you do, they may invite you back and so you will be repaid. 13 But when you give a banquet, invite the poor, the crippled, the lame, the blind, 14 and you will be blessed. Although they cannot repay you, you will be repaid at the resurrection of the righteous." Just take a look at the difficulties inside the beltway and Juneau these days. From the lobbyists scandals to the Veco dealings, to Coconut road, it is “you scratch my back and I’ll scratch yours.” Jesus calls us to scratch the backs of those who cannot scratch your back. Help the needy not the greedy and your life will take on meaning.
