A thought-provoking conversation in a world that v A thought-provoking conversation in a world that values convenience. What if we are missing out by not seeking out the things that cost us, even hurt, and empty us of self? What if we are missing out by avoiding sacrifice? Why do we talk about generosity and giving in the church? We talk about generosity and giving in the church because they are essential to love and impact. Loving God and others costs us, sometimes hurts, and requires us to be emptied of self.
Where are you placing your hope? 17 Command thos Where are you placing your hope? 17 Command those who are rich in this present world not to be arrogant nor to put their hope in wealth, which is so uncertain, but to put their hope in God, who richly provides us with everything for our enjoyment. 18 Command them to do good, to be rich in good deeds, and to be generous and willing to share. 19 In this way they will lay up treasure for themselves as a firm foundation for the coming age, so that they may take hold of the life that is truly life.20 Timothy, guard what has been entrusted to your care. Turn away from godless chatter and the opposing ideas of what is falsely called knowledge, 21 which some have professed and in so doing have wandered from the faith. Grace be with you.

These words from Mother Theresa are a great reminder that small acts of love can make a big difference all of the time, and especially at this time of the year. Who can you be there for? Who can you show kindness and love to? Start with those nearest to you.
“You take Christians and Jesus out of the equati “You take Christians and Jesus out of the equation, this world is totally different.” @kellystickel The impact of the Christians in this world and our modern society is undeniable. One of the most fascinating things to study is how modern hospitals were formed. You’ll find that its foundation goes back to Christians caring for the sick. They did this not with medicine but first with love. The entire message is available where Pastor Kelly explores all this and more. Send us a DM if you want a link to the full video.
We need more of this … Consider the impact we c We need more of this … Consider the impact we could have on the world if more Christians practiced radical personal responsibility and conviction. The kind of responsibility and conviction that sees injustice and takes action, that sees a need and does whatever it takes to meet it. We need more Christians like this. This is not an aspiration; it’s our mandate. #radicalfaith #christianfaith #liveinspired #havecompassion #showkindness #christianliving

What makes Christianity so important to society? What makes Christianity so important to society? The impact of Christianity on society is undeniable. The ministry of Jesus and the early church was focused on caring for those in need and looking after each other, and that mandate and foundational purpose is what we are still about today.
