Shared moments defining my journey

“It has been my conviction ever since reading Rauschenbusch that any religion that professes concern for the souls of men and is not equally concerned about the slums that damn them, the economic conditions that strangle them, and the social conditions that cripple them is a spiritually moribund (1. in a dying state, near death 2. on the verge of extinction or termination 3. not progressing or advancing, stagnant) religion only waiting for the day to be buried. It well has been said, “A religion that ends with the individual, ends.” -MLK

Why would we be concerned about the souls of others and not their lives here? ARE we concerned about the souls of others? Are we concerned for their lives here?

We should be recognized for our love for souls and our love for life here!

Any thoughts from this quote? I have many more but would love to hear yours!

Is the reason we feel stagnant in life because we are so focussed on ourselves and not the lives of others?
