100 Crashing Jetliners

I recently heard about a book that I am very eager to read. The Hole In Our Gospel is by Richard Stearns, the president of World Vision U.S. In an interview on the Sojourners blog he makes this statement:

The number of children who die every day — 26,000 — is the equivalent of 100 jetliners filled with children, crashing every day, 365 days a year. It is shocking that this is happening and few of us are paying any attention. So, yes, this speaks to the core of our faith and what we believe. Are we, as Christians, okay with this, or are we going to do something about it? Whether we are successful or not in tackling this kind of deadly poverty is secondary. But I don’t believe Jesus gave us the option of apathy — not even trying. First and foremost, as Christians we are commanded to serve the Lord, to be obedient to his calling for our lives. I believe it was Mother Teresa who said, “God does not call us to be successful; he calls us to be obedient.”

Great Rich Mullins Quote

A friend posted this on her FaceBook status today. I "borrowed" it from her for my FaceBook page, but I thought I would share it here as well. And if you are not familiar with Rich, well you should be. I have put a video and a couple of links at the bottom of this post so you can familiarize yourself with him.

I had a prof one time... He said, "Class, you will forget almost everything I will teach you in here, so please remember this: that God spoke to Balaam through his ass, and He has been speaking through asses ever since. So, if God should choose to speak through you, you need not think too highly of yourself. And, if on meeting someone, right away you recognize what they are, listen to them anyway."

Thanks Ronne!
