Pure Religion

James 1:27 says:

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.

I've spent much of my first forty years of life working on the part about not being polluted by the world (not that I've been exceptionally good at it). Just recently it's been weighing on my spirit that perhaps I need to spend the next forty years honing the other skill of looking after orphans and widows in their distress.
