I share interesting considering Mariana Biernacki-,,''Mark of true devotion
article was published on November 23 last year on the blog of Brother Biernacki.
As the author himself acknowledges the blog, according to what I also want to work, the readers of your blog refers directly to God's Word-the Bible that the disciples of Christ is the guideline.
Here begins the text by M. Biernacki:
Here are two titles from the marketing department of today's portal Onet.pl: "Luxury life of trade unionists. Earn 22,000 per month. " "Polish MEPs receive generous salaries from Brussels, but it's making them rich in the country."
What strikes me in these titles? The fact that people are called to care for the welfare of others, most care about it to yourself as much as nachapać. Helped push the hope of ordinary citizens, most of the weak and poor, without any scruple to turn their backs, they think about their own benefits, as if somewhere there again turn to the people, it is only in order to improve their own image. Disgusting.
fact is not at all surprising that in this world, where you look, the naked eye can see a growing gap between rich and poor. Money can change a man. enough that the windows, by whom she had dostrzegałeś other people, add some silver, and now you can only see myself - Rabbi explained the mystery of the creation of a mirror.
Fortunately, there are on this earth, people who hold and cherish in their hearts the principles of the Kingdom of God. Who became a naturalized citizen of the Kingdom, this feels a strong need to share with others what he has. It is simply to this set. This is in the blood. When increasing its income, while rising incomes of its associates. When he is better, then others around him also have the better. Only in one case the environment is experiencing shortages, namely when he is experiencing a crisis and deprivation.
People belonging to God's kingdom are at the heart of the passion of helping the poor, weak, sick and inexperienced. In the morning I spoke today with one woman from Ciechanow engaged in helping the poor. In the evening, old woman from Florida told me that soon her husband leaves to at the mall to raise money to support widows. rest we will do with their retirement - she said. Hallelujah! There are still such people on earth!
not mind me, on what motivates them to such activity? Yet they could sit comfortably in a chair, turn on the TV and enjoy the comforts of their own lives. But they just can not. You can write about them as they had St. Paul wrote to Timothy: For I have another one who would honestly care about you, because most people looking for her, and not what is Christ Jesus [Philippians 2,20-21]. They - for Christ's sake - they really are not looking for benefits for themselves and for others.
This is undoubtedly a sign of true devotion! Pure and undefiled before God and devotion to the Father is this: to help orphans and widows in their distress and to behave themselves not by the world splamionym [James 1.27]. In light of the Bible, the value of aid is measured by the resignation of their own comfort and benefit. Because you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that being rich, became poor for you, that ye his poverty were enriched [2Ko 8,9].
first Christian congregation in such a conception of godliness was on the agenda. There was also one among them who would suffer poverty, because those who owned land or houses, sold them, brought the money from the sale and put at the feet of the apostles, and isolated to anyone as he had need [Acts 4.34 -35]. And how is our church? More or less as it is in my own heart. And you too.
