Thinking of and serving with others can be an antidote to negative and unhealthy introspection.

Your life is intricately woven into the lives of scores and hundreds of others around you. Consider the variety of lives that you influence in one day. Somewhere within your circle of contacts someone is being hurt. Are you aware of it?

We are not going to build a Utopia on Earth. Why? Because of human nature. Sin keeps us from building a paradise on Earth. But we are to work for social justice—that is our command in Scripture—we're to do all we can so both we and others can live a peaceable and free life, and a life of human dignity. Only Christ can change hearts, but that does not mean that we neglect social and political relationships.

God says it is our duty as Christians to take care of widows and orphans and to help the poor within the Christian society . . .And Jesus said, "Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me" Matthew 25:40 KJV].

We must not build up ourselves at the expense of others.

My heart breaks to see the world in such turmoil.

Without Ruth's partnership and encouragement over the years, my own work would have been impossible. We were called by God as a team.

He went to the wedding at Cana as well as to the home of Mary and Martha when Lazarus died. He wept with those who wept and rejoiced with those who rejoiced.

Any Christian whose interest is directed toward himself is worldly.

God doesn't comfort us to make us comfortable, but to make us comforters.

There are countless opportunities to comfort others, not only in the loss of a loved one, but also in the daily distress that so often creeps into our lives.

We have been trying to solve every ill of society as though society were made up of regenerate men to whom we had an obligation to speak with Christian advice.
