Jesus told His disciples, including His 21st century disciples, that he would distinguish between spiritual sheep and spiritual goats on the basis of whether individuals performed ministries of mercy "for the least of these."  What are the mercy ministries required of Christ's followers today?  May an individual or a church be considered as being obedient to Christ if mercy ministry is not a central part of their spiritual identity?  This section of the WRF website will consider such questions within the context of the evangelical Reformed faith.
