Words and Deeds
October 3, 2007
A helpful comment from Michael Cassidy, who is one of the leading evangelics in South Africa:
"Any religion that professes to be concerned with the souls of men and is not concerned with the slums that doom them, the economic conditions that strangle them, the social conditions that cripple them, is dry as dust religion. We can go further. We can say it is false religion. Deeds are demanded of us. Words and deeds belong together -- the words interpreting the deeds and the deeds embodying the words of Christian compassion."
