Wake Up America.

What is America thinking? How could we just sit back and watch the rest of the world starve and die of hunger when we are complaining whether or not we should get Togos or Subway for dinner? How is it that so many of our churches preach the "good news" and when push come to shove never step out of the comfortable air conditioned offices that they have been so used to doing Jesus' work from? Didnt God call us to lay down our lives for a friend because there is no greater love than that? How many of you know someone who would sacrifice everything they had just to see a friend have a decent meal? How is it that this "great" nations leaders are so involved in finding oil in the middle east that they fail to look not even a couple of thousand mile to the east and the west to see little children and whole tribes of people are being persecuted and annihilated for just existing? How is it that we are so focused on who is going out with Britney Spears and whats on our itunes playlists that we miss the whole point of life, this glorious thing that we were made to glorify God? If we are Christs bride and he is our groomsman how ugly of a bride are we? Stained with the shame of selfishness topped with a vail of hypocrisy! It says in the word of God that we are all brothers and sisters in Christ, that we are one body under the name of Christ...Do you know that when we all fail to provide to the least of these we are failing to serve Christ? I mean Jesus even told us himself that if we serve the least of these it will be unto him..YET WE MISS THE POINT! Didnt Jesus tell us to lose our lives so we can gain it? How much of your life are you really losing? A couple of half hearted minutes to pray? I dont escape this same conviction but hear my heart in this...we are going down fast. The enemy has put scales on our eyes, deceiving us from our selfishness. I dont know about you but this is a serious problem, one that we cant just sit back and ignore any longer. If one of our brothers or neighbors or people around us falls...we all fall, whether that is in Iran or England or Down your street. WE are all a net, and if there is a hole in the net, everyone is gonna fall through. The bottom line in this is Love..because without that, there would be nothing else..nothing would have purpose..SO seriously ask yourself this question...What can i sacrifice for Christ? Pray about how God can use you to help change this huge problem. None of us can do it alone, but together..we can spread the Love of Christ to all People everywhere.
