From the Pulpit...

To whom should you be neighbor? To all kinds of people. To those who are downtrodden, despised, rejected, marginalized, and hated. To the poor and addicts. To those victimized by sin and confused by all the immoral messages that are shouted from the rooftops. To those who need some extra cash, to those who are depressed, to those who are grumpy, to your family members! To homeless and abused children and people walking down the sidewalk. To Jews. To foreigners, refugees, illegal immigrants. To people of the political movement that you despise. But the focus is not ultimately on them. It is on you. Are you a love-your-neighbor type? Or do you pick and choose who your neighbors are?
