Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world.  James 1:27




  So you say that you have good religion...really...prove it.  Why is it so easy for us to believe and trust God for the things that "we" need and lose sight that we are supposed to be equally or more concerned about our brothers and sisters.  How is it that we are able to turn a blind eye and deaf ear to the cries of those in need.  Don't get it twisted you can go to church and even manage to do all of the good stuff that fills up your check lists...but don't forget the bottom line.  Just remember the parable Jesus told, where the people were cast of of His presence...They pleaded for understanding...Lord...whats the deal why are you bouncing us outta here...and His reply was simple...He said "I don't know who you are, when I was hungry...you didn't feed me...when I had no clothes to wear you didn't come to my aid and when I was in prison you never visited me.  Their response..."when did we see you in any of those conditions...and Jesus comes back with, when you see the least of my brothers and sisters in those positions it was the same as if you were seeing me. 


Today's Challenge:  Put some hands and feet to your faith.  Don't just talk a good game strive to make a difference.   You might not be able to save the entire world by yourself but start where you are..open your eyes so that you can clearly see the people who are around you who could really use your help...ya heard!
