The Hoitie-Toitie!
There they are, those lesser ones. They are not like us! They have a different lifestyle and make choices that aren't like ours. They are not as fortunate as we are. Thanks be to God that we are not like them.
The Hoitie-Toitie are an elite group of people that view the world as seperated and lower breed of people. These are proud and often pious, religiously pure people. Ever met one you would know it. They deliberately set themselves a part from the "impure" neighbors. You may have even been slighted by them yourself.
While these people are a special group, they lack a special love for the lost, hurting and neglected.
Today, I challenge you to examine youself. Are you part of the "Hoitie-Toitie" society? Have you seperated yourself from the calling of God to reach those in need?
Paul purposed himself to reach those in need! 1 Corinthians 9:19-23 tells us that Paul reached people by serving them and caring for the "least of them." Paul says that he worked to find common ground with all.
Today, mark your week's schedule to reach someone in need by serving them in the Name of Christ.
See all Matthew 25 as another reference.
