What about Now?

Imagine that you are a little six year old child playing marbles in the streets of some developing country. Suddenly, the ground opens up and swallows your entire village and rocks fall on top of you paralyzing you with pain and fear. You scream out in horror as you watch your family disappear forever. Minutes later, you sit on top of a heap of heavy rocks trying desperately to find your family. The rocks are too heavy and you finally collapse in exhaustion. The next few hours you lay among the ruins and cover your face . . .


There are millions of people who suffer overseas when earthquakes, famines, diseases, typhoons, or tsunamis happen. These terrible tragedies are not opportunities for the Christian community to point it's finger at those precious Muslims, Hindus, Buddhists, or Animists, but instead it is a glowing opportunity to demonstrate to them how much Christianity cares.

If we are real true believers then we would demonstrate incredible compassion that noone on earth can equal or imitate. WE SET THE STANDARDS FOR COMPASSION AND LOVE. We have hundreds of opportunities to get involved to help alleviate the suffering and bring Christ's abounding love.

Who knows, maybe you could be the one holding that child and bringing hope out of the despair.

WHAT ABOUT YOU, WHAT ABOUT NOW?
