Join Sojourners and World Vision This April in The Mobilization to End Poverty!
Submitted by pure.imagination on Tue, 11/25/2008 - 16:28.
The Mobilization to End Poverty is a three-day movement planned to be held in Washington, DC where thousands of Christians will gather to share new ways to end poverty, while also connecting with Congress members and other government officials to see what steps they are taking to address extreme poverty. This event combines workshops, events and powerful speakers such as Jim Wallis, Tavis Smiley and potentially President-elect Barack Obama to help inspire and bring social justice to the poor.
Ending online segregation is about using online tools to leverage your social network and friends in order to advocate for social justice. Every person could help bring thousands of dollars of resources to at-risk communities with just a little effort toward ending online segregation. The following are some important ways you can help end online segregation:

Below are some of the items on Obama’s Agenda that could impact nonprofits (from change.gov). Nearly all of this would require approval from Congress, but it is helpful to see what change might be coming. You can also find some of his statements on faith at: http://www.barackobama.com/issues/faith/

Trying to be the next superstar?
Submitted by GabriellaMartay on Wed, 08/06/2008 - 21:27.I have a question for you: Who do you worship? Sounds like a joke, right? You're probably thinking something like, "This girl is trippin'. I'm on a Christian website- who else but God would I be worshiping?" Well, many people say this, but do they REALLY feel this way?
Is your biggest desire to glorify God?.. or do you thirst to glorify yourself more than him? Do you crave to be famous more than you crave to hang out with our Savior? Do you seek after that girl/dude down the block more than you do our God? Take a step back and really examine where you stand with our Father. I pray that He's number one in your life. If he isn't- PLEASE MAKE A CHANGE MY SYBLING. Jesus says that we should not be striving to achieve status on this earth, but striving to achieve status in Heaven. I'm sure you want to know how we can do this. So let's cut to the chase and get to it- I'm not going to "sugar-coat" this and say that it's easy, because it's not- but we must humble ourselves like small children to be among the greatest in heaven. (Matthew 18) Now, don't get this twisted. Humbling yourself before God does not mean looking as if you have no money and as if you have no confidence, it means that you TOTALLY obey God and listen to what he has to say (Just like a small child obeys and listens to his parents). We have got to trust in the fact that God is in control of our lives and knows what is best for us.
Are we ready to do this? If so, we can start by getting to know God and what he says in His word. Trust me, we won't regret it.
Take a look at this music video of a Christian rapper named Trip Lee. It hits home when it comes to our society today and where we as Christians stand. It's time to stop worshiping things that are going to perish and invest in a God who is ETERNAL!!! PRAISE HIM!

Not long ago, the families of Fairfax Presbyterian Church spent thousands of dollars to fly their teens to Mexico for eight days of doing good. They helped build homes and refurbish churches as part of an army of more than 1 million mostly Christians who annually go on short-term international mission trips to work and evangelize in poverty-stricken lands.
