The Growing Community.

In the past, travel and information took; hours ,days, weeks longer, than it does today.  Christopher Columbus would have gladly taken the umpteen hour flight by plane (we complain about), over the big pond,  to discover the new world!

Improvements and innovation from telegraph, radio, newspaper, Television to now the internet, news can appear from Africa to my house in the click of a "like" button or the entrance of a password. 


This speed and closeness brings an awareness of the good as well as the dreadful plight of our global neighbors that we would otherwise be oblivious to.  The tornado disasters of nearby states in the U.S.  to the unthinkable terrors of  Sudan.  Areas our Christlike hearts, should love, pray for, even weep over. When was the last time I did?  According to my blog statistics;  people from all around the world will read this writing today.

This awareness of many communities within your own borders would hopefully bring a concern and a heart for the multiple affinity groups that need prayer and ministry as well. Policemen, fire dept. bicycle riders, motorcyclists, book scrapping groups, cowboys, teachers, business leaders, unwed moms, senior citizens. The soldier, etc. etc.

The local and global communities are growing larger and closer.  The excuse "I didn't know,"  has been deleted.  Spiritual souls are dieing without the good news of Christ.  I need to be aware of everything from; Kings to third world hunger.  All need to hear about, see and experience, The love of God.

Let you and I take every opportunity, seizing this day, of reaching out to an expanding, as well as close, local and global neighborhood.

"And daily in the temple, and in every house, they did not cease teaching and preaching, Jesus as the Christ." - Acts 5:42.
