Fight the Good Fight

We send troops over seas to keep the battle from at home. And well we should. But yet the true battle is her and has been for many years. Our battle is hunger, shelter, education, prejudice, and selfishness. These unfortunately go on.

God has created man to worship Him and to help our fellowman. For when we glorify our Creator unselfishly, He opens avenues of wisdom, hope, health, and prosperity.

Jobs decrease hunger, homelessness, and violence, and gives another kind of hunger. A hunger for betterment of all mankind.

The elected president says that the United States of America is not a Christian nation. Wrong! We are established in the Word of God. We came to America to worship God in freedom. Not as the government dictates, but as the Word of God shows us to do. And there is only one God. One way – His way. And that way is love. Love for our fellowman in a constructive way. Not in blindness but in His wisdom.

Yes, praise God for our troops who fight for freedom and protect our beautiful country. But as the battle goes on, and has for thousands of years, let us not be caught by the worst enemy of all: indifference. Never let this happen! Love your fellow man by doing. Be the stranger that gives strength to those who are weak. Please, churches, businesses, groups, clubs, and individuals – let us stand together worshipping God and being supportive to those who are in need. Only in reaching out and giving, can we be heard within. God left His children here not to prove that we who accept Him are saved, but to glorify Him. And the way to do that is in helping others and ourselves. In love, in forgiveness, in selflessness.

America is beautiful because you are beautiful. Only one thing can destroy us. Indifference. Please do not let this happen. Help make 2010 the best year ever for all mankind! Please recognize this community’s starting gate. Open the door today through Open Door Mission in donations of food, clothing (in good condition), household items, and personal hygiene products along with your cash gifts to keep the doors of the mission open. And most of all, give of yourself! Volunteering along with your gifts is vital, for this, your home front. And you are on the frontline. Hunger, homelessness, and ignorance are all our responsibilities. But together, we are winners!

God Bless you this holiday season!
