You Are The Light Of The World

I read the following quote by Os Guinness and it prompted me to beg the question, why do we work so hard to help outside of our country when when we have so much going on within our own?

"The main problem with American Christians is not that they aren't where they should be,
but that they are not what they should be right where they are as doctors,
housewives, lawyers, computer salesmen, or nurses."

I don't have a solid answer but I do remember my grandmother saying, "Charity begins at home and spreads abroad." I am not saying we as individuals or as a nation should not help those in need but I do believe we need to think things through thoroughly. I believe we need to weigh in all the facts before acting. We need to think through the differences between man-made situations and natural disasters which no one has any control over.

Carry each other's burdens,
and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ.
Galatians 6:2 TNIV

We have unalienable rights as Americans, what are you choosing to do with yours?

In the same way,
let your light shine before others,
that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.
Matthew 5:16 TNIV
