For I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me drink, I was a stranger and you welcomed me, I was naked and you clothed me, I was sick and you visited me, I was in prison and you came to me(Matthew 25:35-36).
The Gospel; the good news that we preach is not only for the soul, but also for the whole person. Following in the footsteps of our servant Savior, we are to seek to love and serve in His name whenever given the chance. Our hearts weep with those affected by this tragedy, yet we also know that our tears will not alleviate their immediate suffering.
We must call on Christians everywhere to serve; through prayer, financially and materially, and by sacrificing time to actually go and help. Prayerfully consider how God would have you to serve in during this time.

Hey Brent, I don’t know how you feel about them, but the Texas Baptist Men are doing some great relief work in LA and MS as I write. If your readers are interested in supporting a worthy institution, they might want to consider the Texas Baptist Men.
And, while I am here, I have enjoyed the blog.
