A Thought About Our Priorities

There are places in the world where people are dying for their faith.  They risk their very lives everyday as children of God.  Some of them travel for miles and miles on foot just to go to church, many having to meet underground so they won’t be seen. However, despite all opposition the church is growing in these countries like never before. 

How different it is in the western world; what a different story. Some people who claim to be dedicated followers of Christ have a hard time even getting out of bed once a week to go to church, let alone risk their lives or give their money, time and resources to serve God and His Kingdom.  He is hardly a priority.

As Christians we need to always be examining ourselves in the stewardship of all of life and we need to be asking ourselves the question: “Have I given to the Lord (the one who gave His life for me) the best of all I have, or have I simply given him the leftovers?
That's all I want to say about that for now.
