The Christian Cry ----- or should I say Challenge

In an informal survey of fellow Christians, their number one concern was, the lack of contact they received from other Christians. The simple gesture of calling each other to see how each other was doing did not exist. One lady told me she has been a member of her church for over thirty years and no one from the church, (excluding the pastor) had ever called her to see how she was doing, or to talk about God's goodness.

In the book, "Adam Where Are You"? ...a call to Black Men, the book cites reasons Black Men would rather stay miles away from the church. The number reason was hypocracy within the church ---- we pretend to be what we are not, we talk one thing, but do another --- we pretend we care so much for the world, but we turn our backs those closest to us.

It's the simple things that has the greatest impact in the lives of others.
