Ep.1017: Who and What Should a Christian Support?

Christian support.  One of the hallmark characteristics of being a Christian is compassion.  Jesus was the epitome of acting in a way that helped and cared for others, and we are called to walk in his footsteps.  Simple enough – or is it? In our world there are a myriad of causes we can be kindhearted towards – the poor, the under-educated, the abused, the oppressed, the homeless, the disabled, the unborn.  Then there is the wider scope of life – endangered species, abused and homeless animals and the environment.  What about the social and political issues that rage across our media 24 hours a day, seven days a week? All of these and more can easily demand our attention, money and time!  What do we do?  What causes are support-worthy for a Christian?  Where do we invest our time, effort and resources to be truly God-honoring followers of Jesus?
