Before any conclusions arise, know my heart. This is not a stab or rant just a thought. My thought, as I am sipping Folgers coffee, is what if everybody who buys starbucks or your preferred chain on a weekly basis decided not to buy any special orders ( traps, caps, lattes) for a solid month. Then take that money from that and invest it into a humanitarian nonprofit organization, a mission, a missionary, the homeless, or whatever God places on your heart. Just for a month. Not a long time, not a big sacrifice. Imagine though the impact. Imagine the blessing. This is said out of encouragment because I have seen God bless those who bless others. Just a thought. No bux October anybody? Change the world!

I have read the chapter in 1 Cor. a million times, but never in The Message. It puts the last part of 1 Cor 6 in a new way. I will let it speak for itself, and see if you catch all that I see.

I think to many times we pass by those who are "forgotten". I am definitely guilty of this act. It is so easy to be consumed with life, decisions, success, and ___________(fill in the blank) that we overlook the opportunity to be Christ to those who are forgotten by us and society. Jesus loves the forgotten, its all in the Gospels. The ones that are in the shadows and those that fade into the backgrounds of society. He cares about them as much as He cares about me. He loves them as much as He loves me. If you take a minute and stop in your world (me included), the forgotten will appear. Will you reach out and love them the same as Christ would? This is a challenge to myself first.
