Acts of Mercy

A question came up in Bible class recently. It was about acts of mercy, philanthropy, charitable deeds. The following comment does not in any way suggest kindness be withheld from one group of people or another. But it is nevertheless an interesting observation.


About a year or two ago, Pastor did some really intense study on the book of Acts. He says that nowhere in the book of Acts were "acts of mercy" done for anyone except the fellow-Christians.

  1. Whoa, it's true, you do learn something new every day. I'll have to check that out...not that I'm looking for an excuse to pass over the non-believing needy, but because I'm curious.

  2. Gal 6:10 Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all people ESPECIALLY to those who belong to the family of believers.

    Emphasis mine : )
