Read Mark 1:40-45

As I work through Mark’s Gospel and the life of Jesus Christ, I have been challenged to become more aggressive in emphasizing the role of the local church in mercy ministries.  It appears unfortunate but we fail to hold in tension evangelism of soul and ministries of “healing.”  We must become the cup of cold water to the thirsty, we must become fathers to the fatherless, and we must become a shelter to the homeless.  How do we come alongside those who are buckling under the weight of life?  To have the mind of Christ without His hands or feet is restrictive and one dimensional.  We must maintain the gospel, we must engage our culture, and we must build His church.  None of these three items are capable of being neglected.
