The church has failed to heed my warning. too many chuurches are so focused on themselves that they has ignored the plight of the needy. Many institutions are more focused on internal problems than they are on the true mission of the church: preaching the Gospel of the Kingdom of God, healing the sick and delivering the oppressed.
I say open your eyes to the poor and desperate. Open your hearts to the ones on life’s margins. Take to heart the plight of those in need. I want you to proclaim a message to the church. This is the message: Awaken from your slumber, people of God. Open your eyes and look around. Don’t you see the many that die for lack of warmth and lack of love? Do you see the longing in their eyes? Do you feel the pain in their hearts? Ignore them no longer. Reach out to them and love them in my name. Mobilize compassion. Take love to the streets. Bring life to the downtrodden. Release healing to the infirmed. For when you forsake the outcasts you forsake me.
