Pure Religion

The Bible compares and contrasts religion that is worthless to religion that is pure. The difference between the two is this - according to James 1:26, religion that is worthless is all talk and no action. But religion that is pure and faultless, according to James 1:27 is, “to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world.”

Years ago my grandfather founded the Helwan Evangelical Orphanage just outside of Cairo, Egypt. The orphanage houses 80 boys ages 6 – 18 and provides Christian nurture and education. After age 18, many graduates go into vocational training or higher education.

There was a local news story in 2007 that highlighted a resident of the Helwan Evangelical Orphanage that can be accessed here:
