“God gave mankind the capacity to do many things, but the good and faithful servant is the one who invests the talents that God has given and does indeed become a servant to mankind. If the parable of the Good Samaritan means anything, it means that my neighbor is the person who needs me. The command is this: I should love my neighbor as I love myself. It’s obvious that if we, as professing believers, claim to have a relationship to the Lord Jesus Christ then we must invest the talents of God. Jesus is not talking about investing money in this passage, he’s talking about investing life. We are good and faithful servants to the degree that we invest our lives, our fortunes, our abilities, and the talents God has given us for the service of our fellow man. But the person who says, “I believe it” and the person who says, “I should do it,” and doesn’t do it, is the unfaithful servant. He is the one who has all the appearance of godliness but disproves the reality of Christianity in his life, because he does not love his neighbor as himself. If we can see our neighbors—the disenfranchised and the poor—and it never touches us; if we are not going to share our substance with those who are in need, how then do we fulfill this parable? The unprofitable servant is the one who, when people are hungry, doesn’t feed them; when people are thirsty, he doesn’t give them drink. Jesus is saying, “Don’t you recognize that I’m giving you all of these opportunities to show your devotion to me? Don’t you realize that in caring for the least of these—with whom I identify—you are ministering to me?” We are supposed to invest the talents that God has given us. If we shut our minds and spirits to the needs of others, how then are we profitable servants? One thing is absolutely certain in this parable: God is telling you—if you really are his child—that you had better invest what he has made available to you: Time, substance, money, concern and compassion.” (An article by Walter Martin) top Our Church organization has embarked on several projects/apostolates especially geared towards the upliftment of the plight of the poorest of the poor. We feel that in order to be socially relevant we should touch base with the needy, destitute and the orphans; Sharing with their pains and sorrows. One of our projects is the ‘Salo-Salo kay Kristo’ (literally, life-sharing with Christ) where we regularly visit dank and filthy slum areas and share with the needy the transforming power of the Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ. Since our message won’t come across empty stomachs, we have to share material resources our meager finances would allow. But, oh, what the greatest joy and consolation we experience when we see faces lit up as they respond to the saving knowledge of the Lord Jesus Christ. If you feel touched by the Lord Jesus Christ to be a part of this ministry and would want to contribute in cash or in kind, please get in touch with Pastora Carol Co with tel. no. (02)9111180. We believe that whatever we give as unto the Lord, the same will be given back to us in terms of a hundred-fold blessing. top
