Do we worship the God who blessed us and use His blessings to help others? No! Instead we've made those blessings our gods. Many people around the world die from lack of food or clean water while we think nothing of spending $4 at Starbucks or Jamba Juice. For about what we spend on fast food a month...TWO African high schoolers can receive an education. Thousands in Africa are dying from AIDS. Do we even care?
When Jesus walked this earth He had compassion on the sick and poor. How can we say we love Him while we ignore the sufferings of those made in His image?
"For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also." Luke 12:34
Instead of building bigger and fancier churches, let's set aside the majority of our church budgets for missions. Instead of chasing the American dream and feathering our own nests, let's realize we have ENOUGH...more than enough and start giving to those who don't. Let's be a vessel that channels blessings from God to others.
