When needs need to be met, how do you respond? Do you criticize and sit on the sidelines? Or do you jump up and put your faith into action? Jesus called us to have a love with purpose and action—a love that "does." A love that rolls up its sleeves and gets into the mess when a crisis hits our community.

When there is a crisis not necessarily in your own community, I think a lot of people don’t try to help because the amount they could help would not make much change to the overall situation. Maybe it would not not help, but if many people helped, even in a small way, it could make a huge difference.
I thought this was about dogs you like to run in the mud. In that case, yes.
If a million people gave one dollar, they would have a million dollars.
TO God, the gift matters not based on what one has, but what one doesn’t have. Just like the widow’s mite.
I’m with you;-)
Only to the perverse in their thinking, which based on the responses on this thread are quite a few.
The question in the headline puts me into the wrong frame of mind to properly take in the article. But that’s probably just me and some malfunctioning impulse.
Onward Christian Soldiers.
My guess is that the headline writer wanted to be edgy and provocative. It’s enough to keep me from clicking on the link. I’ll opt for reverence over “relevance” in my religion. Although edgy seems to draw crowds and buy big houses. From cars to church, sex sells.
Thx for posting and for the ping.
Please do not post crap like this.
My mind is not in the gutter and did not interpret that headline in any perverted way.
It sure has revealed, though, what is in the hearts of many people on this forum that that’s the first thing they thought of.
I haven’t been on the thread for a day or so and I am appauled at everyone attacking the headline!!!!!!!!
I know you well!! There is nothing wrong with the title.!!
That is unless your mind is already in the gutter.
SHAME ON YOUR ATTACKERS!!!!!!
SHAME ON YOU!!!! Pastor Jack is a GODLY man.... listen to the message !! Maybe you need help!
Oh for heaven sakes. Get you mind out of the gutter!!Listen to this message!!!
Then he should take a great deal more care with his titles.
It's hardly possible to think of all the possible ways that someone would misinterpret a title. At that point, a person becomes completely muzzled out of fear or concern of someone else taking what you said wrong.
The people reading into like they have been are the ones who are responsible for reading it wrong.
Matthew 12:34 You brood of vipers! How can you speak good, when you are evil? For out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks.
Luke 6:45 The good person out of the good treasure of his heart produces good, and the evil person out of his evil treasure produces evil, for out of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaks.
