Orphans and Widows

Good Morning,

James 1:27(NIV)
Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world

I'm not going to go into a long, drawn out message about what this verse means or what God wants us to do in regard to the words that He gave James to write. Not today. Not at this really devastating time. Today, there are widows and orphans in numbers that boggle the mind in Haiti. To say that they are in distress would be a massive understatement. Today, we have the opportunity to live out a "Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless."

What I'm going to do, being obedient to what I hear from the Lord, is to ask everyone who reads these words to search their hearts and ask God what they should do in regard to helping the earthquake victims in Haiti. This is between you and God, my brothers and sisters. All I ask is that you listen to that still, small voice that speaks into your mind and heart and spirit. Then, be obedient.

If anyone has a question or needs any direction as to what organization or charity to give, please ask me. I have done some homework on this ever since the tsunami disaster some years ago.

Open your hearts, please. Then, be as generous as you can be. It is our responsibility as Christians. Let all of us show that pure and faultless religion we have through Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior.

Love, peace, and blessings,

David
