The Local Church

Care

This care is free and comforting. It adds and does not subtract. It fills and does not empty. It saves and encourages. I have experienced a very human care in the local churches. The believers around me cared for my needs as if they were their own. No matter what my background was, or previous concepts or opinions were, I became humbled by them. In the parable of the father receiving his prodigal son, it is the same. The son was given the share of his estate, spent it all, and ended up eating with the hogs. This is an obviously pitiful situation, in which I have been many times. Through this, the son didn't have faith to return to his father. Instead, the father ran to receive his son. The father was eager and ran out of the house to look for the son's return. Luke 15:24 says that the father proclaimed that his son was “dead and lives again.” All that the father had was always the son's.

This is my experience in the local churches.
