Reflection of the Day - 12/14/2008

Today's Mental Image:

Christ on Main Street

IN THESE CHALLENGING TIMES,

CHRISTIAN LEADERS CALL THE CHURCH

TO FAITH AND COMPASSION

- - - -

"As this financial crisis spreads uncertainty throughout the markets and across Main Street, there's another opportunity on the table -- that opportunity we Christians have to witness to our neighbors. How you react to this crisis -- in conversation with friends, in helping a family in trouble, in how you live within your means -- will speak volumes about the confidence you have in Christ and in the sovereignty of God. Now is the time for the Church to do as it has always done in difficult times: to reach out to those who are hurting, to give hope to those who fear, and to point to the God who owns 'the cattle on a thousand hills.'"

What is the reaction He is calling you to do?
