Have we simply grown numb in regard to being impacted by massive amounts of suffering? Whether it is a natural disaster such as an earthquake in Nepal or a man-made fiasco such as the rioting in Baltimore, do we even give it a second thought if it isn’t directly impacting us at the moment? Modern technology enables us to know all about these events as they unfold before our eyes, but how has the availability of an abundance of information affected our processing of these events?
I will keep it short and sweet today asking a few basic questions for your reflection.
1. Have you prayed for the earthquake victims, the survivors, and all the family members impacted by this devastating event?
2. Did you contribute any financial assistance to a reputable Christian organization to assist in the relief efforts?
3. Have you prayed for the people of Baltimore?
4. Have you volunteered lately at any local community organization or charity which strives to improve the community?
My dear readers, if we aren’t part of the solution, we are part of the problem. We may not be able to give thousands of dollars to charities each year; we may not be able to volunteer hundreds of hours with local organizations and churches needing our help. However, we are all able to do something. Building up the Kingdom of God is a responsibility in which we all share through our baptismal calling. What will you do TODAY?
