Luke 10:29 ¶ But wanting to justify himself, he asked Jesus, “And who is my neighbor?”
2Chr. 28:15 Then those who were mentioned by name got up and took the captives, and with the booty they clothed all that were naked among them; they clothed them, gave them sandals, provided them with food and drink, and anointed them; and carrying all the feeble among them on donkeys, they brought them to their kindred at Jericho, the city of palm trees. Then they returned to Samaria.
Luke 10:33 “But a Samaritan, who was on a journey, came upon him; and when he saw him, he felt compassion,
Luke 10:34 He went to him and bandaged his wounds, having poured oil and wine on them. Then he put him on his own animal, brought him to an inn, and took care of him.
Luke 10:35 The next day he took out two denarii, gave them to the innkeeper, and said, ‘Take care of him; and when I come back, I will repay you whatever more you spend.’
“Evangelicals led the fight for women’s suffrage and the abolition of slavery — and also led the fight against both movements. African American pastors, many of them evangelicals, spearheaded the civil rights movement even as white evangelicals in the South largely opposed it. In the 1980s, Jerry Falwell urged American Christians to buy gold Krugerrands and to promote U.S. investment in South Africa in an effort to shore up the white regime. Currently, evangelicals take a prominent role in supporting pro-life legislation while also championing the death penalty, gun rights, and military ventures.”
Do we just believe that nobody notices the discord?
