1 John 3:16,17 ~ We know love by this, that he laid down his life for us -- and we ought to lay down our lives for one another. How does God's love abide in anyone who has the world's goods and sees a brother or sister in need and yet refuses help?
Galatians 6: 10 ~ So then, whenever we have an opportunity, let us work for the good of all, and especially for those of the family of faith.
