Zacharias Ursinus, German Protestant reformer, discusses Christianity and humanity. Humanity is the love of others, good will in mind & heart, demonstrated in word and deed. The scriptures call this love of neighbor, and philosophers Humanity. It is the Golden Rule.
Today, how many people would feel a little uncomfortable tying Christianity to humanity?
How can you declare in words and deeds, a love for neighbor?
(Bang-e-Dra-010) Hamdardi
Hain Log Wohi Jahan Mein Ache
Aate Hain Jo Kaam Dusron Ke
The best among people in this world are those
Who are always ready to be of help to others.
ہیں لوگ وہی جہاں میں اچھّے
آتے ہیں جو کام دوسرں کے
~ Dr. Allama Iqbal
Henry Darling, Presbyterian minster, writes on a closer walk with God. Abolitionist William Wilberforce (1759-1833) was asked if spent so much time on his crusade that he’d neglected his soul. Willaim had so little time for self that he’d forgotten about his own soul. Darling commends this answer.
How can you pursue a closer walk with God without, no, by, not neglecting the world around you?
