What do you do with your hands?

The big question up front is - Why not lend a hand? A quick walk through Romans 12 should be convicting enough. Don't think of yourself as "above" this chore or responsibility. And further, it instructs us to overcome evil with good.

Think about your world. How many times do you walk by an empty paper cup right next to the trash can. What about the injustice of someone getting talked about in a demeaning way? Can you grow some kahunas and get involved?

When we think about the example of Jesus, some people think he was weak - but I believe that it is easier to walk away and do nothing than it is to do the right thing.

So, what does it take? It takes your hands and feet. Walk to the point of getting involved, and touch the world around you. Overcome this world with good. As others watch you, they will inquire what makes you different. At that, you have an open door to touch them with the truth of Jesus Christ.
