I don't think that God says, "Go to church and pray all day and everything will be fine." No. For me God says, "Go out and make the changes that need to be made, and I'll be there to help you.

About This Quote

Despite the church's efforts, there are still many people who do not think that God says, “Go to church and pray all day and everything will be fine.” God does not ask you to sit in a chair for hours on end with your hands folded or stand at the front of the church for hours on end with your hands folded. God asks you to act. To act on behalf of others. To act because you would like to be able to help out those who are hurting, especially the ones who are suffering under the cruel hand of poverty, oppression, or other forms of injustice.
