More Christians probably are ‘doing it’, it’s just that they don’t advertise the fact. Let not your right hand know what your left hand is doing? Do all your good works in secret.

Shirley Anne..thanks for your responses. Did you happen to sift through some of my comments below? It’s kind of one of those questions to inspire thought and get people to post what they think… not really that I don’t think or know Christians are doing anything. The biggest thing I tihnk is you look below has to do with media coverage… we hear about the world through the media that is the world, but they oftentimes don’t share what the Christians are doing because we are frowned upon.
Oh yes Lyn I do realise that. The media are only after stories that sell newspapers and get people to watch or listen to their broadcasts. The problem with Christians is they are not after all the publicity and drama so it’s not news. Well we all know why ‘celebs’ do it don’t we? Or do we? Do all celebs seek exposure when they get involved with charitable ventures? Their problem is they have become the property of the machine that made them famous in the first place so everything they do becomes public…and that’s what sells to the public!
That’s just awful! Thanks for sharing, Muse. Also, another reason; I know that Angelina Jolie goes to the Middle East a lot. However, on the flip side, if many of us went to the Middle East to help, unless we were Muslim, we would more than likely be brutally killed..even though we were just trying to help. Either she is Muslim, or they worship the ground she walks on because she is pretty and famous. Who knows.
Amen. I know we do hear of Godly people doing stuff, and granted, the media tends to not go overboard displaying news about Godly people doing things; however, I feel not enough Christians are out there being as passionate as Angelina Jolie. There are many, and some even more passionate…just not enough.

There are may reasons why many do not help. Below is just one reason.

I am sure that she has bodyguards near her at all times. They just aren’t shown.
Because, alas, we have lost that sense of being one in God.

So true sister, so true. And now more than ever there areso many on our own door steps who need help.
