Today I was listening to a podcast about how Christians are being martyred in other countries. The same week that the attack on Paris took place, there was another terrorist attack. Very few newscasts gave it more than a passing byword. 12 people were killed in Paris, in Nigeria the bodies were too many to count. Why did the one in Paris get all the publicity and Nigeria got none? Both are tragic events.
It is sad that the world doesn't care about the slaughter in Nigeria. What is downright despicable is that the church in the USA is not rising to the task of helping the refugees. The churches aren't talking about this. The church is asleep. Not a little catnap, but a deep slumber.
My mind cries out to God, "If the church will not help, what can we do?" I felt like God said, then you take it to the people. For those of us who have empathy for the plight of our fellow humans, it is time to take action.
I know that we can pray and that is always the best course of action.
I believe there are other things we can do as well.
I will be praying about this and will do an update to this post soon.
