Social Injustice

I'm watching extreme home makeover. And they are doing a project in the ghetto of New Jersey. And they are trying to eliminate poverty and give this family of 6 (Dad + 5 boys) a new start. And I thought, what if the church where to do that? Really take a chance, just a shot at eliminating poverty? When we start a church, what if we really put a focus on social injustice? Poverty, taking care of the environment, youth under depression, AIDS in Africa, Saving Darfur. What if we really started to care about things that would make Jesus upset? We could change the world....with love. Not caring about being the "typical church"...but be the church that Jesus has called us to be. What if we got the rich were to help eliminate poverty? And the poor to teach the rich love and what it means to live life.

What if we had our own...Extreme Home Makeover? Build housing, give clothes, food, and toys for the poor. Completely free to them, all to show them that God loves them. All to show that the God in the Bible is real. And that the God in the bible, the God of the poor, and oppressed, and the broken hearted, is here to save, and comfort them.
