This is Max Locato. A few years back, three questions came from different people in the span of a month.

Question number one, had you been a German Christian during World War II, would you have taken a stand against Hitler?

Question number two, had you lived in the South during the civil rights conflict, would you have

taken a stand against racism?

And question number three, when your grandchildren discover you live during a day in which

1.75 billion people were poor and 1 billion were hungry,

how will they judge your response?

I did not mind the first two questions. Those choices were not mine.

But the third question has kept me awake at night.

We are given an opportunity to make a big difference during a difficult time.

We are created by God to do great works. And he invites us to outlive our lives, not

just in heaven, but here on earth.
