TO CARE OR NOT TO CARE.....

In following up with what's been said the last time I began to think about what happened to those that I have just left alone without telling them what I see was wrong. The more I travel and the more people I meet the more responsible I feel I need to be, not that I have become more responsible because it is a struggle to not fall into judgementalism. While in Paris I watch a fellow brother sharing with another brother about his honest opinion regarding the country that he was working with but it was not welcomingly received. As I watch the scenario I began to realised that within the body of Christ we are becoming less and less of our brothers keeper since not many want to be kept (saved) due to either pride (probably more pride than anything else) or cultural sensitivity. As we returned home I started thinking about the letters of the Apostle Paul to many of the churches. They are of a different culture than his and yet he felt compel to tell them because we as a body should speak the truth in love so that we may all grow together in that body. To the Apostle Paul within the gospel there is neither Jew not Greek, men nor women, slave or free so it speaks of overriding culture, gender and social status, we should be concern and should have the right to speak to each other the truth in love.

Paris is a fascinating city with lots to offer in terms of culture, history, the arts and many other things but it still is no comparison to what the gospel of Christ can offer. That is the most fascinating thought of the day. It is yet to be discovered by many Christians around the world, especially those individuals who boast of their personal, cultural or social achievements. To boast unreservedly of Christ is symbolic of ones ultimate discovery of the value of Christ in comparison

to the rest of the world and all it represents. I want to press on towards the goal of that discovery since I am not there yet. Nevertheless its my goal. As we think of this timely birth of Christ we need to think of why He needed to be here. Men and women who seems to have everything they ever needed and yet are never satisfied or content because its never enough. BUT JESUS IS ALL THAT WE NEED AND IN HIM WE ARE COMPLETE LACKING IN NOTHING. Hallelujah!!!
