How does it feel to know that we have brothers and sisters who are suffering and being tortured for believing in Jesus Christ while trying to bring the gospel to unreached peoples, and others that starving to death with young girls being sold into slavery to be continually raped… All the while Christians here cannot stop arguing over issues of Calvinism and Arminianism, church politics, worship style, teaching style, and other trivial issues, making Christianity entertaining with concerts and church camps for emotionalism and competitive games, excommunicating brothers and sisters over eschatological differences and arguing over the smallest Greek discrepancies. There are places to do some of these things but it’s clear we have our priorities wrong. This is not the heart of Jesus. We’re wasting our lives.

What’s more disturbing is that most Christians who are confronted with this truth will do nothing to help those who are needy and poor in spirit for a countless number of excuses.
