I will admit to knowing next to nothing about the goings on outside of the U.S. and I know its quite shameful. I think I like to live in my own little comfortable corner of the world, which is totally wrong. I really need to educate myself and make myself more of use. This was a really good post. You were thinking real deep this week. I’ve never thought about this much, but wow, you’re one hundred percent right.

It is so easy to allow ourselves to become isolated in our own world. Yet, God calls us to reach out. I believe that the church must find ways to be the solution to these issues. That is what we are called to do (Isaiah 58)! I agree with you! It is so easy to allow ourselves to become isolated in our own world. Yet, God calls us to reach out.

Some may not agree with me but I think part of the reason American Christians don't think much outside this country is because there seems to be a conditioning going on to tell people that America=most important, best Christian, smartest, etc. etc.As far as the news goes, we vote with our remote & computer. When news sights get millions of hits on Michael Jackson stories, they know to create more Michael Jackson stories. When they get 2 hits on stories of genocide, well, they know what to do.Maybe we should start a movement to get people to NOT read celebrity sights and news about things that DON'T REALLY MATTER!
