"Let nothing be done through selfish ambition or conceit, but in lowliness of mind let each esteem
others better than himself. Let each of you look out not only for his own interests, but also for the
interests of others." (Phil. 2:3-4)
Dr. James Dobson, in his book, Hide and Seek, spoke of giving a lecture to students which
touched on the need of helping others who might have problems. Dr. Dobson said, "Sitting in the
audience that same day was another student with the same kind of problems. However, he did not
write me a letter. He never identified himself in any way. But three weeks after I left, he hanged
himself in the basement of his apartment. One of the four young men with whom he lived called
long distance to inform me of the tragedy. The caller, very deeply shaken, said that the dead
student's roommates were so unaware of his problems that he hanged there five days before he
was missed!"
Let us be genuinely concerned about the problems and needs of our fellow Christians.
