We care, because God cares. We who bear His name, love what He loves, and greive over what breaks His heart. He is about the work of the restoration of all of His creation. Christains have been given a mandate from God that we are to be healers of the breech and restorers of the paths to dwell in. We must go beyond our own personal salvation and be about the work of Christ who gave His life for that purpose. Otherwise it is a selfish Gospel and not worthy of our effort.
As Charles Spurgeon said, "If sinners be damned, at least let them leap to Hell over our bodies. If they perish, let them perish with our arms around their knees. Let no one go there unwarned and unprayed for.
