| I never thought I would have a section on
activism on my website but," looky - looky", here it
is. Most of these links I found on
Don Miller's site as well as the paragraph below. I
know some of the more conservative types might not like all of
these orgizations and that is ok. The important thing is
that people get involved with causes that are bigger than themselves.
That they refuse to play the part of the paralyzed victim and
get out and do something about the injustice and problems of the
world. |

Activism
Christ's endless concern for the poor, oppressed and neglected
displays something of the heart of God. And so there may be no
greaterreward than joining in his concerns by donating our time
to organizations which are working diligently to see the wrongfully
imprisoned set free, the hungry fed, the oppressor brought to
justice, and the sick made well. While few of the organizations
listed to the right are specifically Christian organizations,
each of them seems to be participating, at least to some degree,
in the concerns of our God. Our calling is not to isolate and
then help, but to join our fellow men serving the poor and oppressed,
whether they share our specific political and religious views
or not. In serving, we also get to meet some great people and
redeem to them the relational dynamic of Christian Spirituality
just as they redeem the image of a person who does not share our
faith (a person we believe God made). One thinker said it this
way: "We know we have made God in our image when he hates
the same people we hate." So lets get to work licking stamps,
making soup, scrubbing floors and going door to door in the world
we are not of, while serving the God who is.
