We have it made in our great country. We are able to speak so highly and yet do some lowly things to those less fortunate then we ourselves. Those folks who call themselves Christians and yet do not do the work of the Father, will we be judged the same why we have judged those who less fortunate before the sight of God.
When I hear those Christian Conservatives say that they have compassion, but yet turn their backs on those who need compassion are they doing the work of God or is it the work of MAN.
When Jesus went to his hometown of Nazareth after being in Galilee and before being tempted in the wilderness for 40 days, he stood up in the synagogue and was handed the scroll of the prophet Isaiah and spoke those words. I will just summarize with the point “The Spirit of the Lord is on me” he said he is to preach, proclaim and release. Those who he is to preaching and declaring and releasing are these: the poor, the blind and the oppressed. Our compassionate conservatives friends speak of the poor those who are lazy and need to get up and find work. Even though you can do it for low wages and have to leave your family to fight for themselves and not have the nurturing that parents must do can’t do because you are the working poor. Those whose backs are made for the rich and those attaining wealth to create a better quality of life for those in there circle of concern.
As African Americans were once slaves so are the working poor. That will lead those who are poor to fit into another category as the oppressed. How can you rise up and maintain a better life for your family when you can barely afford to live in a apartment with the rent at a level you can’t even put food on your table. When owning a home isn’t in your reach, WHY because you can’t get a loan because you have been late on your payments and if you do get a loan your doing the same thing you did when you were renting.
