According to UNICEF there are around 100 million orphans worldwide today and 500,000 (135,000 who are adoptable) in the USA. Would Jesus have 2.1 billion professing Christians and 16 million Southern Baptists ignore their cries? Matthew 25:40 says - "And when did we ever see you sick or in prison and come to you?' Then the King will say, 'I'm telling the solemn truth: Whenever you did one of these things to someone overlooked or ignored, that was me—you did it to me." (The Message)
If we Christians began to take seriously the "radical" gospel of Jesus Christ the world we live in would be different... we could make a huge impact! But we have told ourselves that individually we can't make a difference. Therefore, we do nothing at all! If we each start taking the Gospel seriously... our families will be changed... our churches will be affected... our nation and the world will be influenced and forever altered!
How will you live your life this year and following? Will you take the challenge of the exciting gospel of Jesus Christ, and expectantly look forward to how He will use you?
Let's live this year and beyond... as followers of Jesus Christ... with NO REGRETS!
