ACT

So here I stand. I’m ready for anything. Just a man, but I’m giving everything. We’re here only for a second. And then we’re gone when we least expect it. So do more than survive. Let’s live like we’re alive! (nevertheless-live like we're alive)

Some where deep down inside of me I have this urge to do something great in this life. I wonder what it must feel like to help children in Africa or handout supplies to the needy in other third world countries. What if this is what life is supposed to be like? Where there was no calling to live in little white houses, work 9 to 5 jobs, fill up on gas, ect. What if... there there was no need for financial control or retirement. You just live to help others. Live to help others live another day.

How do you just stop being one way and change to another?

It "seems" somewhat hypocritical to call yourself a Christian and to have this take care of myself first attitude. You attend VBS do your part in recreation...while in another country in this same world that you live in with the same people that God created and loved as much as you....there are children who never once think about retirement or driving the latest cool car...have no luxury of A/C and you can forget video games...they just want to live another day. They see the world and what God has given them in a totally different light than we do. That inspires me.

Do not get me wrong I am one of these spoiled Amercian Christians. But, the more I see God in this world and what could happen if all of us "Christians" got together and forgot about America for one day... thought about the World the way God made it... just decided to help...just decided to actually open our eyes and realize what it means to be Christ like and follow in his footsteps...help people and let them see that the same God that reigns over us reigns over them and is with them ALWAYS and loves them like nobody else...

How would that one day change the shape of this world?

It may be totally radical but radical was my Jesus...

"For I do not do the good I want to do, but the evil I do not want to do-this I keep on doing"(Romans 7:19)

This blog was inspired by Newton's Hymn an article in Relevant Magazine written by Dan Haseltine (lead singer of Jars of Clay).

Newtons First Law of Motion is our Hymn: An object in motion tends to stay in motion unless acted upon by an outside force. An object at rest tends to stay at rest unless acted upon by an outside force.

MORAL OF THE STORY IS THINGS ARE NOT CHANGING UNLESS WE ACT...
