Stitching Up the Wounds
How do we stir up a radical passion for God’s will and people in the world? Suffering and how we respond to it could be our answer.
Fiery passion for God’s work is born out of compassion, if you think about it. God sent Christ to die for sinners. Biblically, his glory and judgment go hand-in-hand with his love for us as his image-bearers and grief over sin.

Compassion for the Hurting
The evangelists George Whitefield and John Wesley were two of the greatest preachers in history. These men preached to thousands in open meetings, on the streets, in parks and prisons, and through their ministries many were brought to Christ. But a doctrinal dispute arose between the two men over how a person is sanctified. Both doctrinal camps defended their positions strongly, and some vicious words were exchanged, with the followers of both men arguing in unseemly fashion.
James 3:13
Who is wise and understanding among you? By his good conduct let him show his works in the meekness of wisdom.
Romans 15:1
We who are strong have an obligation to bear with the failings of the weak, and not to please ourselves.
Micah 7:19
He will again have compassion on us; he will tread our iniquities underfoot. You will cast all our sins into the depths of the sea.
Lamentations 3:22
The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases; his mercies never come to an end.
