Social Justice or Just us....

What is your church community like. Is it a Justice or Just us community. yeah, its a cheesy turn of the phrase but it paints the picture. You see many churches are "just us" churches. They are focused inward. They don't pay attention to the world around them. They may have perked up with the tsunami, but for the most part, they worry about themselves. Their carpets, programs, building, etc.
How much of your time is spent "in church". This is not God's heart.

Matt 25 says, "I was hungry and you fed me,... and the people said, Jesus, when were you hungry?" He replied, "if you have done it to the least of these, you have done it to me." Do you catch that? Jesus heart is for the poor. His dream for us, is that we love Him so much, that we take care of those He loves. This is true religion, taking care of the widows and the orphans.

So, how is your religion?

peace,
