Preach Christ. USE WORDS.

Well, I posted a comment on a blog I know from the pastor of a sister of a friend of mine. lol. I wanted to cross post the comment here as it pertains to the poor.

Why is the church calling humanitarian work “missions.” Let’s call a spade a spade here, folks.

Having recently met many men who have literally and continue to be beaten for their faith, yet, continue to preach the Word daily, in season and out of season, I have been personally challenged to let my charity and the Gospel go hand in hand.

In fact, our four core values at Regina RESCUE Mission are: evangelism, discipleship, charity, and expansion. You can’t have one without the other!

Just yesterday our staff Bible study were studying Acts where Dorcas and Cornelius are noticed, both by God and by people, by their prayers and GIVING TO THE POOR.

“For I am not ashamed of the Gospel of Christ, for it is the power of God unto salvation to everyone who believes.”



So, this means a couple of things:

1. Preach Christ. USE WORDS. Where in Scripture do you find that we should keep quiet? Even in baptism, the whole point is being a witness to what Christ has done for you.

2. Put your money where your mouth is. That’s right. God commands us to give to the poor. In fact, He says give it all!

Challenging.
