"we are called to play the Good Samaritan on life's roadside...  but one day we must come to see that the whole Jericho road must be transformed so that men and women will not be constantly beaten and robbed.  True compasson is more than flinging coin to a beggar.  It comes to see that a system that produces beggars needs to be repaved.  We are called to be the Good Samaritan, but after you lift so many people out of the ditch, you start to ask, maybe the whole road to Jericho needs to be repaved."  - MLK, Jr.

Talk to me.  How do you live out your calling?  What does it mean in this time to repave the road to Jericho?  Waiting for comments.  Don't leave me hanging.

  1. As far as living out my calling, I depend on this scripture from Matthew 5.

    Matthew 5:14-16
    "You are the light of the world. A town built on a hill cannot be hidden. Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven."

    "... that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven."
