What hole is there in you?

Richard Stearns in his book, "The Hole in our Gospel," says, "Maybe I have a responsibility to do my part to love the world that Jesus loves so much." [page 2] He calls us to remember our obligation to the world and it's people that Jesus so willingly gave His life for. How often we forget or neglect our responsibility to love those around us and even those we don't see who are in need. This hole, this vacuum we have in our lives and our practical theology is we don't do what we say or what we profess we believe. If we believe, our actions should be different. How are your beliefs altering your actions today? Does what you believe match what you do, how you act? We not only have a hole in our theology, we also have holes in our hearts, because we are not living (and acting) in the way we were intended to. Don't let your hole in your gospel be a lack of love demonstrated from a lack of love in your heart.
