Who Are You Hanging Out With?

A friend sent me this quote from The Tangible Kingdom . . . I haven't read the book yet, but I know that I know that this is why we are followers of Jesus.

Hebrews 9 says: "How much more, then, will the blood of Christ . . . cleanse our consciences from acts that lead to death, so that we may serve the living God!"

Check out the quote:

"go to Africa and hang out with a village of starving children, you'll get a heart for starving African children. If you hang out with the mentally ill, you'll get a heart for the emotionally imbalanced. If you want a heart for people outside the church......you've got to be with them. As they grab your heart, your posture will change, your angle of approach will change, and the kingdom of God will be a little more tangible."

So, who do you have a heart for? Who are you hanging out with?
