If you give a man a fish...
So I finally settled in this afternoon to read this great book that a friend gave me to borrow earlier. It’s called COMPASSION, JUSTICE AND THE CHRISTIAN LIFE: RETHINKING MINISTRY TO THE POOR. It’s pretty hardcore so far. Here’s an excerpts that I wanted to share. I’ll get more into it later as I’m farther along in the text. Regarding human charity: “Ancient...
