Our greatest kindness ( James 5 v 20 )

 What is the greatest kindness one can do for anyone?, what would your answer be?,before I answer that I believe we as Christians should  remember those who have needs.James in his epistle tells up works without faith is dead (James 2 v 16 ff, our works do not save us but they are an necessary evidence that we are saved.We have still not answered the question,'What is the greatest kindness we can do for anyone?'.Here is what Albert Barnes said,'When we come to die,as we shall soon,it will give us more pleasure to be able  to recollect  that we have been the means of  saving one soul from death,than to have enjoyed all the pleasures which sense can furnish,or to have gained gained all the honour and wealth which the world can give'. Humanity's greatest need is be saved, and my greatest responsibility is to tell them of  the one who can save them. We are watchmen  who are called to warn people of coming judgement,  yes it is coming,consider the words of Jude v 14- 15,' See the Lord is coming with thousands upon thousands of His holy ones to judge everyone'. Charles Wesley wrote.

                                                 'My talents,gifts and graces,Lord,

                                                  Into thy blessed hands receive;

                                                  And let me live to preach Thy word.

                                                  And let my to Thy glory live;

                                                   My every  sacred moment spend

                                                    In publishing the sinners friend'
