Spiritual Guidance For This Mission:

Romans 15:1-2 (MSG)

Those of us who are strong and able in the faith need to step in and lend a hand to those who falter,

and not just do what is most convenient for us.

Strength is for service, not status.

Each one of us needs to look after the good of the people around us,

asking ourselves, “How can I help?”
