Let me start by saying that I am not anti-America at all. I happen to love being an American, and I wouldn't want to be a citizen of any other country. However, that does not mean that I am proud of or condone everything that goes on.
Why is it that it takes tragedy to bring people together? What if we, as the body of Christ, actually truely cared about people on a day to day basis?
I am not trying to discount the events of September 11, 2001. What happened was terrible, and I would not wish it on anyone. I think the men and women involved in rescue and cleanup did an incredible thing.
But.
Over 50 million children have died as a result of abortion. That is more people than Hitle and Stalin killed combined.
Every year, 35,000 people die of starvation and lack of clean water.
Yes, we should rush to help in times of tragedy. But there are people in personal tragedy every day, and we do nothing.
All the world could have clean drinking water for a little over $10 million. That really isn't very much if you think about it.
Why is it we think it's ok to ignore those around us? Jesus calls us to love widows, orphans, and our neighbors.
It's time to start.
Remember 9/11 and the great loss.
Just don't forget those still alive. Those slowly dying every day. Those we have the power to help.
Do something.
Love them like Jesus.
