Re: A Thought on suffering and the call for Christians

I was inspired by your friend Tom's sermon, it is the truth. God stands with those who can't stand on their own.
This post reminded me of the current phenomenon that is currently trending on Twitter, #stopkony. If you haven't seen or heard of this event here is the video explaining the situation.

The reason I wanted to post this video in response to Jordan's blog is because it is the essence of what Tom's sermon was explaining. Although many people did not know of the kony situation before it trended on Twitter, Jesus was with them. He suffered with them and now people worldwide are also suffering; Jesus decided to bring this to our knowledge and hopefully help.


This video is a call for all Christians to stand up, be aware, and act! Suffering happens all over our world and as a follower of Christ we are required to go where Jesus is needed.


I think it will be appropriate to quote Mother Teresa in saying, "Be the change you want to see in the world."
