Alan Lester
"An estimated three million people die each year from AIDS, a death toll that has been compared to 20 fully loaded 747s crashing every single day for a year"

This is a shockingly picturesque statistic. You cannot open your eyes to a new day in this world without being faced with overwhelming tragedy and misery. This carnage affects every person in different ways.

What we see in Bunyan's Vanity Fair is a small group of people who are moved by the plight of human suffering and attempt to alleviate it. This is becoming a question the church must look at more and more closely with every passing year, as the crisis explodes. It is the issue of humanitarian aid.

While I believe Christians have a responsibility to exercise mercy, it is also appropriate to issue a warning that mere humanitarian aid can easily be mistaken for Christianity.

For example; a person who is moved by the plight of human suffering may sacrifice his/her life to go and bring relief to those who are suffering, and in so doing, find a means of pleasing God with their life.

This short message considers the distinction between mere humanitarian aid and the exercise of true Christianity that pleases God. It also considers the accusation that religion is to blame for all of the unrest in the world. And finally, it grapples with the absurdity that Christians are carefully filtered out as uniquely hateworthy in a world whose hate-worthiness is carefully disguised.
