Ty Pennington and the Work of the Church

The Monday Morning Insight blog takes a question I asked last week and ponders the same thing using Extreme Makeover Home Edition as an example...

They are helping those who Jesus said we as Christians, yes, we as the church, should be helping. And I couldn't help feel a little weird seeing someone doing a job that Jesus said I/we should be doing better.

I mean, they're making a difference and showing love in ABC/NBC's name. We have the honor and means to do so in Jesus' name. Wow.

And so often we don't. We avoid the widows, the orphans, and homeless. Or better yet, we say we give to organizations that help them. But Jesus told us to do it.

Excellent thoughts. Head over and read the entire post.

Interesting how Jesus will get his work done regardless if Christians step up to the plate to do it...And He'll do it on Prime Time Television!!!
