Christmas Charity Isn't the Answer

Here's an insightful article on Relevant magazine about the habit many of us have of making a special act of charity during this season. I think rather than saying that it "isn't the answer", maybe it should be stated that it "isn't the end, but the beginning". Hopefully any special act of grace we engage in during this blessed season will be the catalyst for us to engage the poor, needy, hurting, grieving, outcast, oppressed of our society on a more regular basis. As the devoted followers of the homeless man, Jesus, how can we ignore these children of God during the other 11 months of the year?
