Keep Us From Just Singing

This picture makes me sick. How can something like this happen...and the world not know about it....and not do anything to help??? Everyone seems to be waiting on someone else to do something ...and frankly, I'm tired of waiting. I think now more than ever that we are becoming numb to photos like this...and that we are developing the mentality of "out of sight out of mind." As Christians we can no longer put our brothers and sisters across the world out of sight. The orphans, widows, the hungry, sick, tired and poor are our sight....they gives us our passion and allow us to live as Christ did. It is our job to help them. I'm not sure what God is stirring up inside of me...but I have a fire in my soul that won't go out. I am fully convinced more than ever that I can no longer just sing about the glorious God we serve...about how he heals the broken hearted and saves the lost....and not do anything. I'm sure at some point most of us have helped someone who was in need....but what about today? What are doing to help someone today? What about the man on the side of the street? What about your neighbors?? WHAT ARE YOU DOING TODAY? I'm tired of just singing and going to church. People are dying. This winter a man in Lexington, KY froze to death because he had no where to rest his head. Children here in our county are going to bed hungry. Shame on us. We HAVE to help these people....and yes, all of them. It only takes one person to reach out and change the world for another person...and in doing so you can change the path for future generations. Yes, one person can change a nation. WE CAN NO LONGER JUST SING. WE MUST GO. IT IS OUR JOB. NOT ANYONE ELSES....NOT THE MISSIONARIES....NOT THE NON-PROFIT ORGANIZATIONS....IT IS OUR JOB AS CHRISTIANS....TO GO AND PUT OUR FAITH INTO ACTION. I'm tired of hearing people say "oh how sad...oh that's awful...how can this be happening?" Let's step out ourselves and make it our job that no man shall die on our streets because he had no where to sleep....that no child on our street or in our county/state/nation will go to bed hungry...that no person will go without the very help we have to offer.

James 2:14-17
14What good is it, my brothers, if a man claims to have faith but has no deeds? Can such faith save him? 15Suppose a brother or sister is without clothes and daily food. 16If one of you says to him, "Go, I wish you well; keep warm and well fed," but does nothing about his physical needs, what good is it? 17In the same way, faith by itself, if it is not accompanied by action, is dead.
