Caring as part of the social responsibilities of the churchDotun Akinsulire
The church does not exist in a vacuum; it is an integral part of the social order. To this extent, the church should be perceived as functional and relevant, in view of its place in the social order. In recent times, secular entities have been seen to display a stronger sense of social responsibility than those of the household of faith. While corporate organizations subscribe to the function of social responsibility as a code of business principle, Christian social responsibility is an extension of the church’s mandate Missio Dei. It is under-girded by Christian theology and not a commercial policy towards achieving an economic agenda.

It seems that current missionary work requires spending a lot of money, preparing a lot of materials, and traveling to far away places, so that it feels like missionary work. But what was the result they brought back? It's just a lot of photos of activities, fun eating, drinking and some playing games. And then we have to do the same thing next year, never ending. The church once mentioned that a certain missionary would go to the field where she used to work before the end of his life. It seemed that if she had not gone, no one would be willing to go. The reason why these missionary work is so difficult is that no one obeys God’s words, and the Bible is not the main content during missionary work, because in the eyes of those who do not obey God’s words, the Bible is just words and cannot be connected with life, so Reading out God's words is boring because it doesn't have any life experience, so it cannot be connected with human life. I will give a few examples in the hope that this situation can be changed. A375

In Jude 17-23 Jude shifts from piling up examples of false teachers from the Old Testament to a series of practical exhortations that flow from apostolic instruction. He preserves for us what may well have been part of the apostolic catechism for the first generation of Christ-followers. In these instructions Jude exhorts the believer to deal with 3 different groups of people: scoffers who are "devoid of the Spirit", believers who have come under the influence of scoffers and believers who are so entrenched in false teaching that they need rescue and pose some real spiritual risk for the rescuer. In all of this Jude emphasizes Jesus' call to rescue straying sheep, leaving the 99 safely behind and pursuing the 1.

Whoever wants to eliminate love is
preparing to eliminate man as such.
There will always be suffering
which cries out for consolation and
help. There will always be
loneliness. There will always be
situations of material need where
help in the form of concrete love of
neighbour is indispensable.
BENEDICT XVI, Deus Caritas Est, 2005.

Solidarity “is not a feeling of vague
compassion or shallow distress at the
misfortunes of so many people, both
near and far. On the contrary, it is a
firm and persevering determination to
commit oneself to the common good;
that is to say to the good of all and of
each individual, because we are all
really responsible for all.”
Saint John Paul II - Sollicitudo rei socialis
SOLIDARITY WITH THOSE AT END-OF-LIFE
The principles of human dignity, the

The institutions are very important
and indispensable; nevertheless, no
institution can by itself replace the
human heart, human compassion,
human love or human initiative,
when it is a question of dealing with
the sufferings of another.
