Some of you will donate ₩500,000 to church projects this Christmas, but if your neighbor’s child asks you for ₩5,000 to buy rice, you will start quoting Bible verses about “discipline and contentment.”
Yes, you donate generously for the house of God, but how did we forget the first house of God, the human being created in His own image?
This December, before you give millions for Christmas decorations in your church
Ask yourself: What about the temples of the Holy Spirit living around me?
• That child who wears the same torn clothes every Sunday
• That neighbor’s daughter who has never worn Christmas clothes in her life
• That family who will watch other people cook Christmas food while they boil yam to eat.
• That widow who pretends to be fasting because she has nothing to eat
• That struggling brother who smiles in church but cries every night
We decorate altars but ignore actual lives.
This December, build a temple of the Holy Spirit.
Buy Christmas clothes, not only for your children, but for the neighbor’s child who has none.
Put food in someone’s kitchen.
Pay a student’s school fees.
Visit the sick.
Send money to a struggling family.
Call that person you know is depressed.
Share love that costs you something.
Let this December be the month you stop practicing photocopy Christianity, the type that looks holy inside church but becomes blind and deaf outside.
This December, Let your Christmas be a blessing to people who will never repay you.
Because the temple of the Holy Spirit is not made of cement, it is made of hungry, hurting, hopeful human beings.
And until we build them, we have not truly built anything for God.
