High School Ministries at Wooster Grace just finished a month long emphasis in taking ACTION by healing the hurts of other in the name of Jesus. In Nick's message today, he discussed how Christians must have compassion on people in our world who are forgotten. Pointing to scripture, he took us to James 1:27 which says:"Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world."
Is it funny to think of God accepting a type of our religion? What does the word "religion" mean? The word means to perform worship and ceremony to God. It's the outward expression of someone's journey to the cross. God is pleased when we live out our faith and show what we believe by taking ACTION.
High School Ministries committed today to have religion that God accepts by looking after orphans. We're sponsering one orphan from our orphanage in Cambodia. We showed this video at the end of the service. It has footage from Wooster Grace's orphanage with its students and director. Enjoy!
