Local ministry strives to res­cue children in Latin America | The Good News

Be very careful you do not fall into this crowd. We are encouraged to care for those who are less fortunate.

There are many in this world who go to bed hungry at night, even in this nation. As much as we have, we think we are materially poor. Yet we do not want for food, water or shelter.

There are others, who struggle each day to find those things we take for granted. They could even be the homeless man on the side of the street!

I am encouraged and know from personal experience the promised in Malachi 3. If you step out in faith and tithe, God will open the storehouse and you cannot keep it all. It is His economy that He encourages us to release the grips on the things we cling to in this world. When you do, you are more able to see things through His eyes.

I know times are tough, and there are those making great sacrifice. I challenge all of us to set something aside and be ready to be a blessing to someone else in need. Whether it be supporting a child in Latin America, or helping someone in your neighborhood, be ready!

It is not the act of giving that God blesses, but the willingness and intent of the heart. Give because there is need, not in obedience to God.

The true test is the condition of your heart, not what you do!
