Theft From The Body

I met Mr. Mosley for a theft claim. He had been putting in many hours renovating a house to make it a rental property. As he was relaying the circumstances of the theft, he expressed discouragement. You see, he was a giving person and to have someone come and steal property that he worked hard for was a blow to his altruistic nature. That was on top of knowing his insurance coverage may be limited.  Then from his heart, he expressed his faith by stating that he “had faith in the Lord’s provision”.  I later asked him if he had a study Bible. He actually has four different ones.  His daily reading, however, was from multiple sources.  I shared a daily Bible that reads a little from the Old Testament, Psalm, Proverbs and the New Testament.  

Before I left, I invited him to my church to hear great expository teaching at Houston Northwest Church.  I told him that our church was very blessed to have leaders that displayed love to our community and our neighbors regardless of skin color. We both agreed that as a Christians, each person has a role as a member of the Body of Christ. To limit our love based on race would not be love at all.  In today’s world, where darkness succeeds at racial divide, the Followers of Christ must make every effort to show love across every nationality. To do otherwise would be theft from The Body.
