Mercy ministries are deeds done in the humility that comes through wisdom.
Wisdom is cultivated through the knowledge of God's word and humility springs from understanding that it is through Christ that we are justified before a holy God and that it is through Him alone, not on our own strength, that we persevere in faith and are being made holy. Redeemer Presbyterian Church's commitment to mercy ministries is wedded to its commitment to the Holy Bible. Jesus Christ was a prophet mighty in word and deed, and we seek to be so as His church. It is evident that a faithful and sincere commitment to the word must necessarily produce a faithful and sincere commitment to deeds of love and compassion. An absence of faith in the Bible leads to no good works, and conversely, an absence of sincere compassion and love points to an absence of any grounding in scripture.
