praise & pray for us!

Gen. 4:9

"Am I my brother's keeper?"

The first human to grow from infancy to manhood, Cain, refused to recognize his obligation to assume responsibility for his brother, Abel. Moreover, Cain murdered righteous Abel and then pretended ignorance of the crime. From the beginning of human history, sin has driven a wedge between people, twisting affections and distorting the concerns people should have for one another. In Christ men can be reconciled to God and also to one another; nevertheless, Christians can still retreat into a short-sighted selfishness that pretends ignorance of the plight of needy peoples. We have a responsibility to see that all peoples have the opportunity to know and believe the gospel. Nearly 10,000 groups are still isolated from the Good News. Are we our brothers' keepers?

God, drive home to us our responsibility of helping others to know and respond to Christ's offer of salvation.
