The Hurting Point
Sunday. Gen. 13: 5-11; 14: 14-16.
The heart that responds to God always responds to another’s need to the hurthig point, if need be. There’s a helping others that has little, if any, of the God-spirit in it. It’s the thing to do; others do it; it’s popular. The touchstone of the real thing is the willingness to do when it costs or hurts. It cost Abraham to help Lot. It cost Jesus to be our Saviour. It will cost to be a real Jesus-helper to others.
