Count the cost.

Let me give you some statistics before i start. 
4.5 billion people do not believe in Jesus Christ, there may be more. That means those 4.5 billion people are doomed to eternal hell.  

What are we going to do about it?
Christ does not ask us to give some of our lives to Him, he isnt asking for half of our heart. He is asking for EVERYTHING. Everything we have is to given to Him. Our love for Jesus should cause us to make radical changes in our lives to help that 4.5 billion people reach eternity with Christ.  

As i sit here and type this children are dying from extreme poverty, hunger and PREVENTABLE diseases.  As i sit here in my heated house, with my fancy laptop and my kitchen full of food that i have at my disposal. CHILDREN ARE DYING. 

Proverbs 21:13 says "Whoever shuts their ears to the cry of the poor 
will also cry out and not be answered." 

Proverbs 14:31 says "Whoever oppresses the poor shows contempt for their Maker,but whoever is kind to the needy honors God."

We are CALLED to feed the hungry, to clothe the naked.  I am strangled by my comfortable life, i dont know how to live now that i know these circumstances.  I dont know about you, but i'm not going to sit back and watch this happen. I've counted my cost, and its going to cost me my whole life, but its worth it. 


WE ARE THE HANDS AND FEET OF JESUS, LETS ACT LIKE IT.
