Features & Description
I have received the following email a couple of times and feel that it is quite appropriate considering the financial state of the U.S.:Ask yourself the question "Would you run?" after reading this.Imagine this happening to you...........One Sunday morning during service, a 2,000 member congregation was surprised to see two men enter................both covered from head to toe in black and carrying submachine guns.One of the men proclaimed, "Anyone willing to take a bullet for Christ remain where you are." Immediately the choir fled...the deacons fled...and most of the congregation fled. Out of the 2,000 there only remained 20.The man who had spoken took off his hood....looked at the preacher and said "Okay Pastor, I got rid of all the hypocrites.....Now you may begin your service. Have a nice day! And the two men turned and walked out. ______________________________________________________As Christians, if we are not willing to die for Jesus, our fellow man does not stand a ghost of a chance. What motivates us to care? We go about our daily lives as though we are islands unto ourselves, not grasping the fact that we are all tiny specks of dust in the universe that can be blown away by the simple puff of our Father's breath.I spoke with someone yesterday who said that our lack of concern for our fellow man because of the loss of jobs is because we have gone into self-preservation mode. How Truly SAD! We eagerly spout the national anthem........."one nation under God, indivisible with liberty and justice for all." We are very proud to know these words, but how many of us truly apply them to our lives? We have been deluged with senseless acts of terrorism purportedly in the name of Allah, a tsunami, devastating hurricanes, countless tornadoes, and the list goes on and on. We continue to lose lives in the Middle East protecting our borders. Our sentiment appears to be that if it does not touch me directly, it has no value to me. With all the continued bombardments to our lives and livelihoods, it still has not sunk in to our psyches that there is a higher power at work here, and that "it takes a village to raise a child, and an Army to protect the village."We are constantly being displaced due to the economy, so how are we going to fix the problem? ..... Build more shelters? ....... Integrate them into the welfare system?......Allow them to live on the streets? 'WAKE UP PEOPLE!" Any option we have comes with a price; so will that be cash or credit?What is Christianity if we do not consider our brothers and sisters? How many people does it take to make a difference? It starts with one; one who has to be persistent to get others to see the value of a need. At TheWrightResume.net we have picked up the gauntlet. We receive 20-30 calls per day from persons who have been laid off seeking resources to help integrate them back into the working world. Career resources and job assistance costs us approximately $315 per person. Except for the $500 donations we have received, TheWrightResume.net and its partners absorb all costs for this service.Would you run? We are accepting donations for as little as $1.00. Please make a donation of some kind, a monthly donation or a one time donation of $5 or $10 or more, and call us to find out how you can give of your time; 682-503-6399.When you get to the Pearly Gates and St. Peter asks what you have done for your brother, you can say very loudly and proudly, "I helped to protect a village."
