Acts of compassion by Christians: 8-3-12

Today’s blog is expounding upon an entry from Facebook.

After the owner of the fast food chain Chick-Fel-A said he believed in traditional marriage between a man and a woman being married once. Others said he was being anti-gay. From what I saw, he wasn’t referencing same sex relationships. But some felt shame on him for preferring traditional marriage and shame on him for daring to say it. On Thursday, a bunch of people showed up at this guy’s restaurants to provide support for his feelings on marriage.

There was a post on Facebook, I guess from a liberal web site, that made derogatory comment of “too bad Christians don’t show the same support toward food shelters and service as they do ending up in fast food joints.” There were some wonderful examples in the comments section of specific references to acts of compassion.

Putting in my 2 Cents worth I suggested that maybe those Christians are too busy following Matt. 6:6. In my rush to post, I had the wrong verse. The correct verse was Matt 6:4. Silly me.

I also mentioned that if he wanted a specific example of a BIG act of compassion all at once I reference this link: http://www.glennbeck.com/2012/07/27/updating-thousands-serve-in-dallas-tx-on-restoring-loves-day-of-service/.

We’ll have to see if that is a big enough example to serve his criticism.
