God brought me here to Las Delicias so that in some way I would preserve it, because Christians are the salt of the earth. But the Bible also says that we are the light. And what better light, what better testimony, how much better can we shine with the light of Christ, than by showing people love? In John’s letter he tells us that we don’t love with words, we love with action. What good is it for us as a church to tell the world that we love them, to tell our people, our community, that we love them and that God loves them too but walk away after seeing them hurting on the street. What good is it if we see their need and move aside? If we really love God, and the love of God is in us, we must love our neighbor. We cannot say that we love God if we are indifferent to the pain of those around us. We can’t.
