Knowledge isn't power, unless it is practiced

"The importance of the church in creating the moral as well as the practical infrastructure to deal with some of the biggest problems facing the world."

Bono

I think we as humans fall into a trap personally where we feel like just knowing right from wrong is good enough. Well "I have news brother", in real life we aren't measured by our knowledge, we are measured by our actions.

I think many churches fall into this trap. The church does its best to educate the body. So that the body can go forward and do what it does but the church does not make anyone follow through.

This is going to sound kinda wierd and don't go after the literal syntax but churches need to do less enabling and more doing.

It is one thing to talk about the crisis in Africa, or the poverty in the innercity, or the racial barriers that plague our societies, or the devastation of Katrina, or the starving children in third world countries, or the illegal labor trades.

Do anything, Do something, Do one thing.
