We are the hands and feet of Christ.

We are the hands and feet of Christ. 

We are the hands and feet of Christ. 

We are the hands and feet of Christ. 

We are the hands and feet of Christ. 

We are the hands and feet of Christ. 

We are the hands and feet of Christ. 

And again... We are the hands and feet of Christ. 

Throughout the modern era, from the enlightenment forward, The Church has driven every significant change in culture. 

Hospitals, Scientific Breakthrough, Schools and Universities, homeless shelters, the civil rights movement, women's rights, orphanages, the ending of slavery, all started and led by The Church.

As The Church in the USA abdicated it's responsibility to heal and teach, The Government took a more active role to fill the gap. That change was driven in part by the secularization of culture, but, the root of it all was Christians being either too afraid or too self absorbed to engage in meaningful ways. 

The rise of Socialism is a secular response to the decline of The Church.

Thankfully, I'm seeing a turn in the tide but it's not making major news. The Phil Vischer Podcast (The Holy Post) as well as Building a Story Brand Podcast and the Exploring the Prophetic (Shawn Bolz) Podcast all share frequent examples of people stepping up to the plate and making a difference. 

The fight against human trafficking is being led by The Church. While many of the Secular Leaders behind the rise of Socialism are actually contributing to Human Trafficking. #JeffreyEpstein 

So change is coming. The Church is waking up.

Maybe you and I don't have the expertise to start a school or hospital... But we can reach out to do for one what we wish we could do for all. Smile at folks. Slip a note in the cleaning ladies bag, put $20 or even a $100 in there with it. Call someone and love on them. We can partner with organizations that are making a difference.

Be the change you want to see, start with one.
