Frontlines & Home Fires

I have been thinking about my blog of late. While I really enjoy the fun things, the cultural critiques, the theological ruminations, there is still a hurting world that needs the love of Jesus expressed to them in practical ways. Anyone who trusts Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior is part of His Body. And we need to be His hands and feet, not just His mouth. Because of this, you will notice a new section under the general links list called "HELP OTHERS." Given, some of us are frontline fighters for these and similar organizations, but those of us who keep the home fires burning, need to step out with dollars where our feet are unable (hopefully not unwilling) to go. I heard someone say once that commitment is spelled "Money." If you are committed to Jesus and His mission, I encourage you to take your stand and select one of these tried and true organizations to support:

The One Campaign
World Vision
Gideon's
Doctor's Without Borders
Habitat for Humanity
The Salvation Army
Open Doors
Prison Fellowship
Samaritan's Purse

Of course, if you are able to do more than give, don't stop with mere cash. Get on the frontlines and be where Jesus is--among those who need Him most.
