I just finished reading this really great book called "The Hole in Our Gospel" by Richard Stearns. The book describes how Richard Stearns got a call to be the President of World Vision and leave his very comfortable life in order to serve God in that way where you need to rely completely on Him to make it through. He talks about the excuses and fears that almost stopped him and then the things he saw once he decided on doing it. The book talks about injustices, political/social/economical gaps between people AND what we, as the body of Christ, could be doing. There are really touching stories about the people he met while in different countries as well as information that will make you think. It's hard for me to explain without re-telling everything so I suggest you read it!! ha.
It is my mission, it is your mission and it is the mission of the Church to care about what Jesus cared about.--- Matthew 25:31-46
"God expects us to serve Him on His terms, not ours."
"To be a disciple means forsaking everything to follow Jesus, unconditionally".
"on the surface, they may have looked godly. But they hadn't changed their underlying behavior."
We are to lift up the poor and the marginalized, challenging injustice wherever we find it.
