People do many things, for the love of God. There are those who feel that they have a specific calling in their lives to live and accomplish a great mission, or purpose. I’d like to underscore that by saying that we each have been born to praise God; and, to do the great commission which is; to bring the “good news” of Jesus, God’s son, to those who do not know him so that they may have an opportunity to accept him as Lord and Savior of their lives. By doing so, and repenting of their sins…committing their days and nights to living according to the word of God and it’s instructions; they will be used by God to accomplish many things in their lifetime.
I believe that just being aware of the world around you and noticing where the acceptance of God is lacking and doing your best to be of service in some way; of bringing a light or help to those who are in need, is a ministry itself. Some have a pull on their hearts to teach, preach, do missions work, or evangelize. There are others who are drawn to a particular effort of outreach which may be to take Bibles into areas of the world which have little or no access to the word. Then again, there are those with an online ministry to edify or build up disciples such as the Live Sticky movement which encourages people to spend a portion of their online time being dedicated to bringing awareness of God to those that they impact. These are all ministries that are needed. To continue reading click here: Write Where You Are

The media is bombarding us with a feel good story about a man by the name of Ted Williams. He has been homeless for quite some time as he struggled with drug and alcohol addictions, as well as legal problems. That is not all that unusual when you stop and consider the large number of people living on the streets and learn about their individual stories. Often you will find that there is a dependency on either drugs or alcohol, or even possibly a mental illness that often goes untreated. With the economic disasters of the last decade, there are more people out on the street because they have been uprooted by a sudden change in their finances. Military veterans often struggle with a return to civilian life and end up homeless. Runaways also can end up homeless after they have run through the willingness of their friends and family to allow them to couch surf for a period of time. Still, people become homeless for a variety of reasons and it doesn’t have to be permanent. People living on the street can also become a victim of violence or intimidation. Homelessness can be a reaction to a temporary situation in a person’s life. Homeless does not have to mean a hopeless situation.
