Picking up on my the theme of my last post I'd like to state things in a different way. Imagine that you and your family decided that it would be wise to build on to the house. The new space will be nice for visiting relatives and friends. You have been setting aside extra money for over a year to pay for the home renovations. Just as you are ready to hire a contractor you get terrible news that your child has a serious medical condition. If surgery is not performed soon your child will die. The medical cost will wipe out your savings and possibly more. Would you continue the house renovations or save your child?
Now perhaps that seems like a ridiculous question because only the most callous, hard-hearted individual would chose not to save their child. So then what does that say about the church that invest millions in gyms, education buildings, conferences, conventions, coffee houses, and untold numbers of fellowships and social gatherings while 30,000 children are dying today for lack of basic necessities?
