Read this article from reformation21.org. It encourages people, especially so-called “reformed” christians to not only seek personal reformation but also move that towards mercy ministry.

However it is not my intention in the scope of this article to present the Biblical case for mercy ministry, but to bring our attention the fact that God constantly commanded His people to be in this work even when others are neglecting it. So this should tell us that there will be a tendency of risk for both the individual believer and for a local church to become ineffective in this God honoring work. In particularly I have become increasingly convicted that this work should be fervently done by the young Reformed Christian. Why do I say this? Because by definition most young reformed Christian have spent the majority of their energy and time on understanding the Scriptures, (which of course is of the utmost importance, as well as being able of effectively defend and communicate Gospel truth): but since the “lion’s share” of our time goes rightly to these spiritual disciplines, we can some times become deficient in other spiritual exercises such as mercy ministry.

God is not only transforming your heart, he prepared you to do good works with that new heart.

Thanks be to God!
