The Church - A Compassionate Community

SUMMARY: The Lord is always available to attend to our needs, no matter how big or small they may seem. We should also be people of compassion, treating others with mercy and grace, just as Christ did. Our churches should be places of refuge, healing, and compassion, where people can come with any problem or situation. The hallmark of God's people should be compassion and grace, as we treat others with meekness and gentleness, always being aware of our own humanity.

The Lord will never be too busy to attend to our need. He will never tell us: oh, what you are asking of me is too insignificant. For Him there is no big or small.

We can come to Him with all our needs, and we ourselves have to be people of compassion. We have to treat each other with that same mercy.

The balance between justice and mercy
The article discusses the need for a balance of justice and mercy in the Church in the 21st century. author: Dr. Roberto Miranda, title: The balance between justice and mercy, summary: The Church in the 21st century needs to have a balance of mercy and holiness, grace and truth. This requires a bipolar mentality that emphasizes the call to holiness while also understanding that the Christian walk is a journey of gradual sanctification. Churches and leaders need to have a pastoral heart and be aware of the struggle of the believers journey. There will always be a tension between these two positions, but we need to imitate Gods balance of justice and mercy. Psalm 85:10 and John 1:14 show us that mercy and truth meet and grace and truth are united in the character of Jesus Christ. The Church needs to reflect this balance in our treatment of sinners, ourselves, and others.
