Help Needed

This man cried for help as he sat on the street w/no legs. I wondered how he had got there, there was no wheel chair around nor anyone who looked like they were with him. He sat on this street corner where we were waiting to cross the street, hoping for passer-byers loose change would get him through another day.

I again thought that while evangelism may be done differently today at times, there are many, many people who could be evagelized the "old" way of walking down to street corners and preaching the Gospel. However, like in our trip to Thailand in general, helping to meet a physical and economic need, is being the hands and feet of Jesus and giving a context to prepare someone for the Gospel.

It reminds me of my life here. In being Christ w/skin on and giving someone the Gospel, my life needs to be lived 'in the light of eternity' daily. I am battling myself if I don't live as closely to Scripture as possible. Daily examining my life according to the Word and letting my life then show forth as living for the King. Then I have a wonderful segway, one that is easy, to give lip service about the great Gospel of Jesus Christ.
