Pure religion is biblically defined as caring for widows and orphans in their distress and abstaining from sin. I once heard NBA Hall of Famer, Julius Irving, say, “No man stands taller than he who stoops to help a child.” There are thousands of helpless children in this country, as well as in foreign lands, who need assistance from able families who a good and, particularly in my mindset, Christian home. There is no better way in this world to express our religion than to open our homes and our hearts, and pocketbooks, to foster or adoptive children. If we do not assume this responsibility, we must each ask ourselves if our religion is proper. James 1:27 ”Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world.”
