Besides Mr. Rogers, the lawyer from Luke 10 is probably the most famous individual to ask “Who is my neighbor?” Jesus saw through the question, and flipped it on its head, asking instead, “Which person proved to be a neighbor?”
Isn’t this the only question that really matters? Our neighborly attitude shouldn’t be limited by culture or race, but by bandwidth. In other words, am I showing kindness and love and charity to as many people as possible, or only those I feel are worthy of it?

CloseBe honest: God's execution of Ananias and Sapphira in Acts 5 seems a little harsh. For starters, it was "only one sin," and secondly, didn't Peter just have a bigger sin when he denied Jesus three times? Why would someone who was shown so much mercy for that deny someone else the chance to repent? If it seems harsh, that's because it is. That's kind of the point. But I would argue that there's more to the story than just lying = death. A lot more. If only we would take the time to dive in and be honest with the Text.
