'Remember Those In Difficulty.'
Hebrews 13:3.
a) Remember those people who are in prison.
b) As if you are in prison with them.
c) Remember those people who are being mistreated.
d) Because we are in the body also.
(This QT challenges me to Remember Those In Difficulty, especially in my Prayer)
-------
'Active Compassion.'
a) Matthew 25:35. I was hungry and you gave Me food.
b) Isaiah 58:7. Caring for:-
1-The hungry people.
2-The homeless poor.
3-Those people who do not have enough clothes to wear.
4-Our own people.
c) Ezekiel 18:7 & 16. The person who does not oppress but gives.
d) James 2:15-16; 1 John 3:17-18. Within the Church Assembly.
(This Second one reminds me of the Ministry of Active Compassion)

Chris.
We are to remember those people who are in difficulty. First of all, we are to pray for and help for such people in our own Church community. Secondly, we can pray for and help others outside our own Church community, especially as a "mercy ministry team" from the Church, which is the very best way to do it.
