Christianity at Work

Facebook is a mess.

It is full of politically motivated rants.

It is loaded with hate.

It is loaded with lies.

I was about to the point of abandoning it………until I saw a recent post by a woman whom I am proud to say I know.

Here is a synopsis of her post.

Times are hard….they will probably get worse. If you are unemployed and struggling to care for your family, send me a private message with your address. I will drop off a bag of groceries. I won’t knock, I won’t call, I won’t bother you. No one will know and I will pretend that it didn’t happen.

This has to be the best example of working Christianity that I have seen in years.

Christianity is a very simple religion. You can basically cook it down to two commands:

Love God

Love your neighbor

If you are a Christian, these two commands should be at the very top of your “To Do list”……..every day.

I’ll go one step further……..it should be obvious to the people around you that those two commands guide your life.

As a nation, I think I can say that we haven’t been doing a very good job of obeying these two commands lately.

As a nation, we haven’t been very Good Christians

I would encourage you to consider my friend’s post. I would encourage you to do something similar.

In this current pandemic, I can think of no better way to serve God…….I can think of no better way to be his feet on the ground.

“give, and it will be given to you. Good measure, pressed down, shaken together, running over, will be put into your lap. For with the measure you use it will be measured back to you.”

Luke, NIV

Do not neglect to show hospitality to strangers, for thereby some have entertained angels unawares.

Paul, NIV

 ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.’

Jesus, NIV
