The best message I have heard yet about God's passion for the orphan...

Check out this message I heard from a pastor named David Platt from The Church in Brook Hills, Birmingham; Alabama.  All you have to do is follow this link to The Church in Brook Hills.   The message is titled Father to the Fatherless which was given on April 25.

I really enjoy the taste of coffee.  Often, I will frequent the local barista and sit down to enjoy a piping hot cup of joe.  I will open my laptop and check out the Facebook status of my friends scattered across the globe.  "John has just become friends will Michelle and five others.  Oh, how splendid."  Even as I drink from my cup, millions across the world who don't even access to a computer daily sit in abject poverty, while I sit  and collect more coffee cup sleeves for my collection.  Every day, my life goes on while another impoverished child will die in between sips of my coffee— coffee which could have been the result of a young Tanzanian boy harvesting the beans.  What might that boy's "status" update be?  I imagine it wouldn't be, "life is beautiful" or "... going to the mall tonight with friends, I'm so excited!"
