The Last Donut

Talent, wealth, influence… if we’re not careful, we can begin to think that all of these things are about us. That’s what happened in the Old Testament with the Hebrews. God had given them His name and an understanding of who He was so that they would share it with the world around them. Instead they turned inward and began to focus on themselves.

Before we point accusing fingers, though, we have to stop and look at ourselves. Why are Christians known for their lists of rules and the things they don’t do or what they are fighting against instead of love, mercy and compassion?

I think it really illustrates where we can find ourselves if we're not careful.

Honestly, if you or I died right now, how many people outside of our immediate family would go hungry tomorrow? How many young people, other than our own children, would lose a mentor? How many invalids would be left without help? How many?

If being a Christian is just about going to church, then it’s not about much. What then is Christianity? What does true Christianity look and act like?

Are we fighting about the last donut when we're eating out of someone else's bag? Maybe all of these blessings we've been given weren't really ours? What do you think?
