Targeting

It’s obvious that God ‘targets’ (calls) individuals for specific areas of service, such as a youth sponsor or Sunday school teacher. However, I reject the current thought and trend that God would have a church target a specific group for developing the body. Acts 10:34-35 says, “Then Peter began to speak: “I now realize how true it is that God does not show favoritism but accepts men from every nation who fear him and do what is right.” Have you noticed that the targeted group for today’s churches is never widows, orphans, singles, the elderly, or the handicapped? I know what targeting is, I experienced it in high school, and it’s called a clique.
