A Context of Love

Monday September.24.2007 in Hope, Mercy

I’ve been a regular reader of Larry James’ Urban Daily for only a short while, but I have to say I have really appreciated the honesty and directness of the blog from the very start. Agree or not (and most times I do) on the topic at hand, he writes in an approachable style with real heart and a good aim.  (Yes, this a plug. ;)

As I’ve interacted with Larry some today on the conversation between faith ministries and communities of faith about how best to serve, I wanted to take a break to acknowledge the many great ministries out there serving hurting people. While I’m serious about promoting good communication between the two, I think electronic communication can lose some of the love felt when issues are debated or bantered about or discussed.

I’m heavily indebted in my service of the poor to people like Larry, folks like those over at Mission Arlington/Metroplex, the Life Shelter in Arlington, a gaggle of people over in Ft. Worth and so many others.

As I shared in an e-mail with some friends today, going it alone just doesn’t work and the things we desire most often come after we sacrifice for each other.
