‘Compassion Is For Now.’
a) Hebrews 13:3. The people in prison and the suffering people need to be remembered by the Church.
b) 1 Thessalonians 5:11. We are to encourage each other and build one another up.
c) Psalm 95:7. God takes care of us, we are to listen to Him and follow His example.
(This Second one reminds me that Compassion Is For Now)

Chris.
The people in prison and suffering people are people that God exhorts the Church to help. Other religions and secular societies are often more ready to help the prisoner and the sufferer than the Church is. Let us consider the Words of Jesus about needy people and be challenged by them.
