What does God require this Christmas? (Micah 6:8 (The Message))

But he's already made it plain how to live, what to do,
   what God is looking for in men and women.
It's quite simple: Do what is fair and just to your neighbor,
   be compassionate and loyal in your love,

And don't take yourself too seriously— take God seriously.

Ways to do that this Christmas season.

• Visit Operation Buckeye to send gifts to soldiers in Iraq and Afghanistan.
• Check out Heifer International to send a gift that keeps on giving to a poor family.
• To provide clean water, donate to Thirst Relief.
• Donate to local food pantries which are being hit hard by local job losses.
• Help children who are forced to be soldiers at InvisibleChildren.
• Computer recyclers don't always recycle computers properly.  Learn more from this 60 Minutes report.  My consultant and I try to recycle by rebuilding and giving away the the poor in our community. 
• Help people in Africa suffering with AIDS at Hearthecry.
• Help people in debt in Asia, Africa, and Latin America at Jubileeusa
• Help stop child exploitation and sex slavery. Visit Love 146 and find out more.

These are only a few ways you can help.  But you can make a difference 1 person at a time.  And you can do what is fair, just, and compassionate for your neighbor.
