Remembering that...

The way I think about helping others in need:
Rescue the perishing; don’t hesitate to step in and help. If you say, “Hey, that’s none of my business,” will that get you off the hook? Someone is watching you closely, you know-Someone not impressed with weak excuses. http://bible.us/Prov24.11.MSG
