A church begins to die when it says, ‘They were just children.

If we nurture the dreams of children, the world will be blessed. If we destroy them, the world is doomed!

So why is a third of our world battling obesity and spending huge sums to burn off excess calories, while the other two-thirds yearn to get more of them?

A church begins to die when it says, ‘They were just children.

It all begins, I maintain, with that powerful and underutilized thing called love. God's love for the individual is displayed by those people who reflect his love in their words and deeds. It ultimately gets understood and accepted by the child in poverty, and through that individual's love for others, the world gets changed.

There is nothing to be intimidated about - it's just another long run where a few more people show up and they happen to wear numbers.

...while God has done his part in creating a world capable of providing what we need, we have not done our part in the stewardship of it, in seeing that it gets to the end of the line, to the poorest and neediest--the children.
