These questions were posed in a sermon the other week. They come from Richard Stearns, President of World Vision. Obviously we could add alot of issues to question #3, so many issues that we would feel justified to throw up our hands. But, when you focus down on one issue, I think the question demands an answer. Honestly, it makes my knees shake. I would recommend Richard Stearns book, "The hole in our Gospel" for further investigation into the the role of the Church in our world.
1. Had you been a German Christian during World War II, would you have taken a stand against Hitler?
2. Had you lived in the South during the civil rights conflict, would you have taken a stand against racism?
3. When your grandchildren discover you lived during a day in which 1.75 billion people were poor and 1 billion were hungry, how will they judge your response?
