No One Cares...
Posted : 23 May, 2011 10:32 PM

God has called us to teach our children about the things and Word of God and Jesus Christ, His Son...... but who cares?...

We are to find the hungry, clothe the naked, house the homeless, visit and pray for the sick, and those in prison... but who cares?...

We are to heal and mend the brokenhearted, and preach the gospel to the poor and the lost, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recover sight to the blind and set those in bondage of their sins free ... but who cares?...

You know why no one cares?... because everyone is too busy being selfish, but we must be very careful about being selfish, and careful to be greater servants of the Lord... because if we don't... NO ONE WILL CARE!

Bishop TD Jakes

No One? I believe T D Jakes is stretching the truth just a tad. I see many, many, many, many Christians who DO CARE. Isn't he a "prosperity preacher"?

Is he a Bishop of a certain church? I've only seen him once and that was on Dr. Phil.

Chevy ; this is called "exhortation through gulit". A person filled with the Holy Spirit will be walking the individual path God has marked out for them. If the truth must be exaggerated and the tactic of guilt used then the problem is not that a person is not walking as he should, but rather they have lost touch with the head ie: Jesus. Stay in touch with Jesus through the Holy Spirit and actions will naturally flow like water. The lack of actions is never the problem, but rather a symptom!

Furthermore some think because they are called to do such and such that means everyone should do the same and if they don't they must be slackers. What if everyone fed the poor even those called to clothe them?.....there would be a bunch of overfed poor naked people.

You can read about a excellent example in the Book of Acts where the Disciples delegate some to take care of the widows and orphans.



Oh, how we forget who the head of the Church is...Jesus! And it is He who calls us to different tasks for the good of the Body.

It doesn't matter who says it, nor do i believe it is a guilt trip it is a accurate because we do not know who the head of the church.



When ever we hear people talk about prosperity is a lie we know e have some selfish people talking.

I understand that Chevy and that is the result of wrong believing, and not knowing what the will of God is concerning prosperity.



One more thing i don't believe Jesus is any different in me than any one else and he does not nor will he agree with speaking out against his people especially on a public forum.

Sigh, Chevy, Sparrows, & P.J., you are so not getting the point that that the Bishop was making in his comments, that ET Posted. In general, everyone is selfish. We focus too much on our lives, and do not bother to look around and see the needs of others. It's not about everyone doing everything all the time. It's about just taking the time and trying to help another person out.



Yes, there are those who do bother to care, and live their entire live in trying to meet the needs. But they are few. And why should only a handful meet all the needs and become burned out, when everyone start helping others. What a dramatic difference this would be.
