So Sue Me
The Good News Today Is...our good deeds will be recorded. I was appalled when I saw a news clip that showed scenes of an accident. The headline read, "Good Samaritan's Dilemma." Apparently the court has in all its wisdom seen fit to allow a person to be sued for rescuing someone that was in a horrific car accident. The so-called victim was left paralyzed in the accident, and it could possibly have happened when a good samaritan came upon the accident and tried to remove the victim as it appeared the car might catch on fire. Hmmm....so do we stand by and let someone burn alive or do we risk the possibility of getting sued if we help them live? This should be a no brainer, we should help and we should not have to fear getting sued if we are trying to save someone's life. I sure hope that I have the courage to do the right thing if I am ever faced with a choice such as this, and that the potential legal consequences won't deter me. "So in everything, do to others as you would have them do to you..."Mat 7:12. We may be persecuted on earth by men if we rescue someone, but we will be judged in heaven if we don't.
