This makes about as much sense as people who claim that they "worship" on a golf course.

The story about the Good Samaritan was part of the response to a question about getting into heaven. I see this as a great thing to do, no matter which hour of the week it is done.

I grew up in an evangelical church and have been so disappointed with the partisan political turn many of them have made, as well as their ever increasing focus on conversion. Nice to see some evangelical churches living out the gospel of Jesus in the world through acts of service and love!

This is faith and love in action; walking the talk. A great example for everyone. Fantastic!

"but his church decided not to because members already do good deeds on other days."------translation, I want you sitting in the church every sunday to keep my coffers overflowing.

National surveys already have shown that religious people donate more money an time to charitable causes than non-religious people (see "Who Really Cares" by Arthur Brooks, Syracuse Sociology prof). This event was just another example of that.
