I sometimes wonder whether a whole lot of what passes as Christian teaching is no better and no more effective at producing Good Samaritans than the Old Covenant and teachings like the Talmud that have followed after the Old Covenant. It is essential I too wake up to the realisation just believing is not enough until you learn to actually adhere to Christ's teachings and even that needs to progress persistently until grace and truth which Christ shares turns the person around and eventually Good Samaritan acts result (like Jamie Foxx's in the news today, God give more of that and bless it in those who have it).
