Red Letters

Let the quotes continue. These are from Tom Davis

In essence, we limit our range of motion. We can't reach far enough to offer compassion because our arms are too busy holding all that we own. If, on the other hand, we recognize that what we have is a gift, then we can extend reach. We discover that we can use a portion of our gift to improve someone else's life, maybe even to save someone else's life.

[Jesus] made other men and women's sufferings his own sufferings. We're to follow in His footsteps.

I have a dream too, that God's justice will rule and reign over all of thi green earth. I have a dream of a world where no one has to live in extreme poverty, where slavery isn't in the hearts of people, where there is no such word as orphan. I have a dream that God's people will wake up and recognize who they truly are in Christ- people God can use to set the captive free.

When we see the world through God's eyes, we see a different picture than when we look only through our own eyes.

We are the first generation that can look extreme and stupid poverty in the eye, look across the water to Africa and elsewhere and say this and mean it: we have the cash, we have the drugs, we have the science- but do we have the will? Do we have this will to make poverty history?

How do you want to be remembered?
