#WakeUp
* When you give to the needy, do not announce it with trumpets, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and on the streets, to be honored by others. Truly I tell you, they have received their reward in full."
- Matthew 6:2

* Col. 3:23, "Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters."
* 1 Cor 3:19, "For the wisdom of this world is foolishness in God’s sight. As it is written: “He catches the wise in their craftiness.”
THE SECOND VULTURE:
"In the 1990s, there was a widely circulated photo of a vulture waiting for a starving little girl to die and feast on her corpse. That photo was taken during the 1993/94 famine in Sudan by Kevin Carter, a South African photojournalist, who later won the Pulitzer Prize for this 'amazing shot'.
However, as Kevin Carter was savouring his feat and being celebrated on major news channels and networks worldwide for such an 'exceptional photographic skill', he lived just for a few months to enjoy his supposed achievement and fame, as he later got depressed and took his own life!
*Kevin Carter's depression started, when during one of such interviews (a phone-in program), someone called in and asked him what happened to the little girl. He simply replied, "I didn't wait to find out after this shot, as I had a flight to catch..." Then the caller said, "I put it to you that there were two vultures on that day, one had a camera."
Thus, his constant thought of that statement later led to depression and he ultimately committed suicide. Kevin Carter could have still been alive today and even much more famous, if he had just picked that little girl up and taken her to the United Nations Feeding Center, where she was attempting to reach or at least take her somewhere safe.*
Today, regrettably, this is what is happening all around the world. The world celebrates stupidity and inhumane acts at the detriment of others. Kevin Carter could've taken the girl away from that place, yet he didn't. Here is the inhumane posture, "he had all the time to take this shot, but he had no time to save the girl's life."
Thus, we must all understand that the purpose of life is to also touch lives. So are you too a Vulture? In whatever we do, let humanity come first before what we stand to gain out of the situation. In all we do, let's always think of others and how we can be of benefit to humanity, how we can lend a helping hand and wipe away tears. Hence, when we seek knowledge, wealth, fame, skills, or even positions, let's think of how we can use it to benefit the people and society at large."

Don't just invite people to church.
Invite them to lunch.
Invite them to your table or patio.
Invite them into your life!
Be there for them.
We- not our building- are the church.
