All People

"He is not seeking a powerful people to represent Him. Rather, He looks for all those who are weak, foolish, despised, and written off: He inhabits them with His own strength." -Graham Cooke
1 Corinthians 9:19-22 19Though I am free and belong to no man, I make myself a slave to everyone, to win as many as possible. 20To the Jews I became like a Jew, to win the Jews. To those under the law I became like one under the law (though I myself am not under the law), so as to win those under the law. 21To those not having the law I became like one not having the law (though I am not free from God's law but am under Christ's law), so as to win those not having the law. 22To the weak I became weak, to win the weak. I have become all things to all men so that by all possible means I might save some.
When we look at this world and the people in it we play favors. We are more likely to talk to people that look, talk, and act like us. But when we think about people in the way God see's us, we are all alike. If we would treat people with their souls in mind we would care for all man the same way.
As Paul writes in the verse above we are to be true to Christ but be all things to all men so that by all means we might save some.
