If thou forbear to deliver them that are drawn unto death,
and those that are ready to be slain;
if thou sayest, Behold, we knew it not;
doth not he that pondereth the heart consider it?
And he that keepeth thy soul, doth not he know it?
And shall not he render to every man according to his works?
Pure and undefiled religion in the sight of our God and Father is this: to visit orphans and widows in their distress, and to keep oneself unstained by the world. James 1:27
As I started looking at this video, my mind went to an an incident recorded by the former first lady, Barbara Bush in her "Memoir".
Here it is on page 93. She writes of her impression of Nigeria. I am unsure when this incident occurred, but here it is:
"Our entry into Lagos, Nigeria, probably influenced my feeling about the country. The traffic was horrendous. The city was filthy. The river was polluted. There were no closed sewers, no water and sometimes no electricity. The city was teeming with people-some dressed, some half dressed, and some relieving themselves. The roads were lined with shacks. I saw beggars, people sleeping on the streets, and garbage everywhere. Never had I seen such filth. The very worst was that a lady gave birth on the street outside our car and no one seemed to care. People just stepped over or walked around her." End of quote.
How on earth can any society become so uncaring for each other? This mental picture horrifies me!

thank you.
terrible conviction i lay under. i ask God to bless your heart and the fingers that typed this link up.
You would be far better off praying for God to bless the ministry that made the video, but thanks though Neil. If you want to pray for me, just pray that I do something about it.
its not so much that i was praying FOR you, i asked God to bless your heart and your fingers that would link such a convicting message to my heart, and underline my OWN unprofitability...this is the service we do each other Thru Christ...to exhort, encourage, impel to walk His Walk, to be His Hands on this earth. God bless you for this service...bringing this ministry to my attention, both in mind and in prayer.
After re-reading the forum rules I realized that I should have asked before posting this. I assumed that because these guys have made quite a few videos from content on this website that it would be O.K., this may not have been a safe assumption.
