I read the following article this morning from one of my favorite blogs, Islam in Europe. It was a great reminder of the following: in all that we do, whether it be building orphanages in Sudan, giving to the poor and needy in our own cities, or comforting a friend during a tragedy our end goal must always be the same...to glorify God by sharing Jesus and His gospel in order to establish His Kingdom here on earth. That is not to say that what this group has done should be frowned upon. It just falls short of what is ultimately necessary. We have so much more to give than food, shelter and clothing. We have been given the task of reconciliation and the tools to carry out that task. We have been given living water that quenches thirst eternally and hope that does not fail. We have failed to love our neighbor if we fail to give them the most important thing that we have to offer, Jesus. I hope that you find this as challenging and convicting as I did.
1 Cor. 10:31
