It is easier to make Christians with full stomachs than empty.

I want a mess. I want to see the Church get closer to the people. . . . We cannot keep ourselves shut up in parishes, in our communities, when so many people are waiting for the Gospel.

Christians are mandated to share the good news about Christ to all people around the world. Whether the person is rich/poor, short/tall, male/female and whatever their skin colour is. Is that what we do?? Just a handful of Christians have decided to take on that task. When I say Christian, I mean a follower of Christ, not just someone who goes to church. We have so many people in the world professing to be Christians, yet the world's evil keep increasing daily. It seems the majority of people doing evil all over belong to a religious group or another but that’s a topic for another day.

Is it cool, or acceptable for a Christian to use money meant for church offering to help someone in need?? Well, the bible says give unto Caesar what is Caesar’s and unto God what is His. Does this mean you can’t use God’s money on a mere human?? Every #christian is tasked to evangelize to the world.

Matthew 28:19 New International Version (NIV)
19 Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.

As we do this, are we to think about those we are evangelizing to, or that's God's work?? Are we to think of what condition they are in? Is it only the heart which receives the message, or the body has to be in a good condition too?Proverbs 21 verse 1 says, "The king's heart is in the hand of the Lord, as the rivers of water: he turneth it whithersoever he will." Does that apply to a "sinner" too?? So no matter what you say, if it's God's will for the person to have a change of heart, that will happen. If it's not the will of God, means the won't be a conviction? If the person is beaten and battered, they will still receive Christ because that's surely the will of God?

Most of us have heard the story of the good Samaritan. Can I ask a question? If they all should preach Christ, or some other religion to the traveler later on, who will he listen to? The priest, the Levite and the Samaritan, who will be able to convert this traveler? As we evangelize and talk to people about Christ, let's endeavor to help them out if we can. You meet a hungry man, and all you tell him is Jesus saves. He wouldn't understand Jesus Saves as much as a bowl of soup. He might even mistake you for his Saviour. Let us learn to be our brothers keeper.

Some kind gesture could go a long way than a whole lecture. As we go out to share the Word of God with others, let's not forget we were human beings before we became Christians. Let us not forget we belonged to Society before we belonged to our church. Faith without work is useless. You will win more souls through acts than words. Be charitable, and that will be enough to cause people to want to know about your God.

Matthew 25:35 For I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me drink, I was a stranger and you welcomed me.
