The Outreach of the Church

Matthew 6:26

Look at the birds, way up there in the air,
Do you really think that they much to care?
They neither sow nor reap nor even gather,
But still are fed by your Heavenly Father;
Are you not of more importance than they?
For you are molded in His image from clay;
Could you imagine life of no churches exist,
What would our society be then to consist;
Outreach programs if were non-existence,
No food, housing or counseling assistance;
Think if they were all government managed,
It's ok with taxes at a higher percentaged;
Rather than government to take on the role,
Rather churches are able to fill that hole;
A church is more than a physical structure,
For Christians holding a spiritual fracture;
Reaching out to all those that are in need,
While sowing and reaping the spiritual seed;
Sharing Christ and faith with gifts of love,
As God showers blessings from Heaven above.
