Most Popular PktFuel.com post: Luke 18 – Us vs Them Series » – In Luke 18, Jesus tells a parable, in which a tax collector went to the temple to pray.

In Roman-occupied Israel, tax collectors were Jews who decided to work for Rome and collect taxes from their conquered countrymen to give to the nation who had overcome them. They were rich, well off men, with beautiful homes and plenty to eat. But often with no one with whom to share their table.

Quote I've been pondering: “There is immense silent agony in the world, and the task of man is to be a voice for the plundered poor, to prevent the desecration of the soul and the violation of our dream of honesty. The more deeply immersed I became in the thinking of the prophets, the more powerfully it became clear to me what the lives of the Prophets sought to 
convey: that morally speaking, there is no limit to the concern one must feel for the suffering of human beings, that indifference to evil is worse than evil itself, that in a free society, some are guilty, but all are responsible.” Abraham Joshua Heschel.
