Safeguarding the Church #1 — The Compassionate Church. In a world pressing us to conform, Scripture calls us higher: “Whether therefore ye eat, or drink… do all to the glory of God” (1 Corinthians 10:31, KJV). Lay down preferences, refuse contention, and love with action—so many may be saved (10:32–33). Christ is King, and HE is our pattern of compassion.
