I’ve seen these before.
Poor African children, starved, needy, sickly. This is probably not the first time you have seen such videos, and it probably won’t be the last. What should you be doing?
Ignore them.
Ignore them until you are serious about doing something for the people you see. Ignore them until you are willing to pay a price to change the truth placed before your eyes. Ignore them until you are willing to play a part in their suffering, and play a role in their salvation. Until or unless you are willing to start living your life in a way that matters all the way to Africa, ignore them…
Lest your hearts get numbed to their plight.
We see this imbalance and we go “Man.. that’s not right, that’s not fair.” But all too often that’s all we do… because for us to do any more is actually going to cost us something.

Christianity is going to cost you something. It is not the easier way out of life, it is the better way; in fact, it is the only way. Let me amend what I said earlier on – Christianity will cost you everything.
How cheap is your faith?
Perhaps the only fair thing to say, is that when we forsake the lives of others, we actually forsake our own.

Yeah!

Amen! In fact, thanks for posting this up! Everything is a deep word yet a simple generalizing term. Boils down to every decision and action should lead to the great commission, not our own aspirations (:
Oh my Zach! HAHA i saw this video too! And i thought of you straight after i saw the “R-E-V-O-L-U-T-I-O-N”. We are all in this together…
this post inspired me to write one on my blog too a couple of days back.
i guess many of us just become so indifferent after watching these kinda clips too much. which kinda led me to this thought which i posted as well:
I once had a conversation with 3 friends. And we were talking about family law and how cruel it is sometimes when the lawyer let the couple sign the divorce papers, fight over their children’s custodies etc. And my friend commented that her friend who was a fresh out of uni lawyer cried before during her work. Then I said ‘well… after a while, the lawyer will be numb and indifferent towards it, and just treat it as a job‘ Then another friend said ‘and then you realise the job is just chewing more of your soul daily…
and so this million dollar question is whether our souls are still there? the soul that God created to be good. maybe the question is kind of harsh and extreme. but i guess you know what i mean.
anyway, random thought!
