Jesus Embodied the Marginalized
Jesus was a Jewish homeless vagabond, born in poor conditions to a woman whose husband was not his father, raised a refugee in Egypt, despised by his own people, hated by the religious leaders, physically assaulted by law enforcement, and executed with capital punishment, even though he was completely innocent. He did not just reach the marginalized—he embodied the marginalized. His entire life said, “Pay attention to the least of these.”
You can’t preach Jesus as he is without Jesus as he was.

If Acts Happened Today, Would We Call It Communism?
For many, "communism" has become less a political philosophy and more a conversation stopper. But is every effort to use our shared resources to care for the poor, the sick, and the vulnerable really communism? This article examines the difference between political labels and biblical principles, comparing the teachings of the early Church with today's political rhetoric. -

John Gregg Fee, Presbyterian, declines membership in secret societies. They’re selfish and reject handicapped people an people of color. This is the opposite of the spirit of Christianity, and fosters a spirit of caste.
Do we try so hard to find the deserving poor, that we will only help those who can help themselves? Is church a beauty pageant?
How have you experienced fellowship with the truly needy?
