Tom Davis is an author of several books (Red Letters, I am reading now and you will hear more about later) and CEO of Children's HopeChest. I have mentioned him many times on this blog. He wrote an article on beliefnet that is something that could have come straight out of my mouth in fact, I have said some similar things to friends and on my blog recently. You see, I was one of those Christians that SUCK (you read that right). We are SO hypocritical in the churches today. I am very sad to say that this article described me perfectly just a few months ago. I hope that now I am starting to live a life that matters to my "neighbors" and to Jesus. We are so good at the TALK but very seldom follow through with the WALK. Let us make our ACTIONS show the world we LOVE Jesus AND our neighbors who are hurting, lonely and sick, instead of just using our words that never really amount to much in the end! Jesus SHOWED people He cared, He didn't just talk to them or at them.
Please read the article above and visit Tom Davis' website often to see how you can help.

Great article! I have also seen where the Church hasn't reached out to it's own members in need. People are hurting and sometimes we get so caught up in our ministries, even in missions, that we don't see our own members, our own brothers and sisters in Christ, in their time of need. I urge everyone to look around and notice who has not been in attendance for awhile or who is going through a tough time. Reach out to them. A simple card or phone call unprompted can mean the world to someone. A meal here or there can do wonders...
Um, Alice, my head and heart and ego are all really bruised right now from these great beatings you've been dishing out. Thank you.
