A Pastor Friend Of Mine

And I Think That's What Our World Is Desperately In Need Of - Lovers, People Who Are Building Deep, Genuine Relationships With Fellow Strugglers Along The Way, And Who Actually Know The Faces Of The People Behind The Issues They Are Concerned About.

I'm Just Not Convinced That Jesus Is Going To Say, "when I Was Hungry, You Gave A Check To The United Way And They Fed Me.

For Even If The Whole World Believed In Resurrection, Little Would Change Until We Began To Practice It. We Can Believe In Cpr, But People Will Remain Dead Until Someone Breathes New Life Into Them. And We Can Tell The World That There Is Life After Death, But The World Really Seems To Be Wondering If There Is Life Before Death.

The Problem Is That The Chicken-soup-for-the-soul Stuff May Feel Good, But None Of That Typical Stuff Helps When Somebody In Your Neighborhood Is Murdered.

We Say It Is Idealistic To Think We Can Continue To Live The Way We Live - With 5% Of The World Using Half The World's Resources, With $20,000 A Second Being Spent On War.
