Caring

“If you try to hang on to your life, you will lose it. But if you give up your life for my sake and for the sake of the Good News, you will save it.”Mark‬ ‭8‬:‭35‬ ‭NLT‬‬

Fear  causes us to hold onto our lives, selfishness causes us to be deaf. When Jesus told parables He said it was because: in hearing the people would not hear and in seeing they would not see. Why did they not hear or see? Their hearts were not in seeking God’s kingdom. 

We can read our bibles but not comprehend the scripture read, we can hear the word of God preached but not actually heart it in our hearts.  Why? We are deaf and blind. Why? Because of unbelief.

Right now the west trundles on ignoring what is happening in the Middle East. Not only did Hamas attack Israel, Hesbollah is now attacking from Lebanon and Iranian backed terrorists are attacking from Syria. Yet in the US and Australia the governments are tolerating Islamic support for Palestine and vitriol against Israel. We have become weak-kneed Lilly-liveried, gutless and uncaring as nations.

Praise God there are those who care. Someone paid $500,000 US for airfares for those seeking to return to Israeli to fight and also provided equipment. Well done!
