I believe that the church in America would be better served if it followed the Bible.  I know that the church of Fox News has the Church convinced that Jesus’ plan to keep America safe is to torture and or kill our enemies but I would like to shine the spotlight in another direction.

Paul made this little plea that we should remember the poor.  Once you see Jesus’ heart for the least of these you really cannot look past them again without pain.  I challenge you to read this post in its entirety:

We went to lunch and I bought her a hamburger.  She only ate half and when I asked her if she was full she told me she wanted to save the rest so her little sister back home could eat it.

She fell asleep on the ride back to the hotel, her sweaty brown cheek squished up and buried in my t-shirt.  And I prayed, asking God to forgive me for not giving away more of what he’d given me in my lifetime.  “Forgive me” was all I could say holding a child who ate once every three days before Compassion saved her life, didn’t go to school before Compassion educated her, didn’t know she mattered until Compassion told her how much God loved her.  Forgive me.

We have got to return to the Gospel as a church.  I am not talking about a social works gospel.  I am talking about returning to a place where we can be affected by the love of God in a way that it changes how we look at the world around us.  How many people do you know that live below their means for the sole purpose of being able to give?  What are we doing with all this money?

TBN has over $300 million in the bank.  Why do people keep donating to it?  Because they think it will get them rich!  This is perversion!

What will it take for us to have a Gospel centered Christianity in this country?
