The document expresses disappointment that Christianity has failed to live up to its purpose of helping the poor and oppressed. It says Christians are more focused on judging others than helping them, and that few answer the call to make a difference in the world. The heart of the author is broken because the workers are few and brothers and sisters in Christianity do not use the cure they have been given to solve the world's problems.

1. WHEAT OR
CHAFF?
BEFORE SEPARATING A PART FROM
ITSELF, YOU NEED TO BREAK IT.
NAH, TOO INCONVENIENT.

2. WHY MY HEART IS
BROKEN.
Christianity is supposed to be the answer. The hope of the world. The defence of
the weak, the feeder of the poor.
Christianity is supposed to be God‟s answer to injustice, a river of grace and
mercy for a difficult, ruthless world.
But instead of all those things, we have become selfish and lazy.
Christians spend more time arguing about whether or not they have to go to
church to be a Christian, hate giving to expand the kingdom and will leave a
church if they are expected to actually make the world a better place.
We are more consumed by judging fellow man than helping fellow man. Most
Christians are more affected by a picture of two men holding hands than two
starving children holding out theirs.

3. WHY MY HEART IS
BROKEN.
Christianity is supposed to be the answer. The hope of the world. The defence of
the weak, the feeder of the poor.
We follow salaries, not causes. We give sparingly, not generously. We stand by
while people bow under the weight of poverty and we don‟t even try to make a
difference.
My heart is broken because the workers are few.
My heart is broken because my brothers and sisters have the cure to all of the
world‟s problems, yet do nothing.
My heart is broken because I have to beg and plead with people to make
disciples as Christ commanded.
My heart is broken because so few answer the call to make a difference.

4. MATTHEW 3:3-12
3 In those days John the Baptist came, preaching in the wilderness of Judea 2 and
saying, “Repent, for the kingdom of heaven has come near.” 3 This is he who was spoken
of through the prophet Isaiah:
“A voice of one calling in the wilderness,
„Prepare the way for the Lord,
make straight paths for him.‟”
4 John‟s clothes were made of camel‟s hair, and he had a leather belt around his
waist. His food was locusts and wild honey. 5 People went out to him from Jerusalem and
all Judea and the whole region of the Jordan. 6 Confessing their sins, they were
baptized by him in the Jordan River.
7 But when he saw many of the Pharisees and Sadducees coming to where he was
baptizing, he said to them: “You brood of vipers! Who warned you to flee from the coming
wrath? 8 Produce fruit in keeping with repentance. 9 And do not think you can say to
yourselves, „We have Abraham as our father.‟ I tell you that out of these stones God can
raise up children for Abraham. 10 The axe is already at the root of the trees, and every tree
that does not produce good fruit will be cut down and thrown into the fire.
11 “I baptize you with water for repentance. But after me comes one who is more powerful
than I, whose sandals I am not worthy to carry. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and
fire. 12 His winnowing fork is in his hand, and he will clear his threshing floor, gathering
his wheat into the barn and burning up the chaff with unquenchable fire.”

5. REVELATION 3:1-3
3 “To the angel (pastor) of the church in Sardis write:
These are the words of him who holds the seven spirits of God
and the seven stars. I know your deeds; you have a reputation of
being alive, but you are dead. 2 Wake up! Strengthen what
remains and is about to die, for I have found your deeds
unfinished in the sight of my God. 3 Remember, therefore, what
you have received and heard; hold it fast, and repent. But if you
do not wake up, I will come like a thief, and you will not know at
what time I will come to you.

6. REVELATION 3:14 -18
14 “To the angel of the church in Laodicea write:
These are the words of the Amen, the faithful and true
witness, the ruler of God‟s creation. 15 I know your deeds,that you
are neither cold nor hot. I wish you were either one or the
other! 16 So, because you are lukewarm—neither hot nor cold—I
am about to spit you out of my mouth. 17 You say, „I am rich; I have
acquired wealth and do not need a thing.‟ But you do not realize
that you are wretched, pitiful, poor, blind and naked. 18 I counsel
you to buy from me gold refined in the fire, so you can become
rich; and white clothes to wear, so you can cover your shameful
nakedness; and salve to put on your eyes, so you can see.

7. WHY DO WE
NEED TO BE
ON FIRE?
HEBREWS 12:28-29
28 THEREFORE, SINCE WE ARE RECEIVING A KINGDOM THAT
CANNOT BE SHAKEN, LET US BE THANKFUL, AND SO WORSHIP
GOD ACCEPTABLY WITH REVERENCE AND AWE, 29 FOR OUR
“GOD IS A CONSUMING FIRE.”

8. YOU ARE THE
ANSWER!
John 15
15 “I am the true vine, and my Father is the gardener. 2 He cuts off
every branch in me that bears no fruit, while every branch that
does bear fruit he prunes so that it will be even more fruitful. 3 You
are already clean because of the word I have spoken to
you. 4 Remain in me, as I also remain in you. No branch can bear
fruit by itself; it must remain in the vine. Neither can you bear fruit
unless you remain in me.
We are the body, the branches, the army of God. Without us
springing into action, the world will not change!

9. WE NEED MORE
LABORERS!
Matthew 9:35-38
35 Jesus went through all the towns and villages, teaching in their
synagogues, proclaiming the good news of the kingdom and
healing every disease and sickness. 36 When he saw the
crowds, he had compassion on them, because they were
harassed and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd. 37 Then he
said to his disciples, “The harvest is plentiful but the workers are
few. 38 Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers
into his harvest field.”
This is what I am doing today. I am asking. Will you rise up
and roll up your sleeves?
