The Great Pumping Heart

Back and forth and back again, circulating information among those whose lives are stained by sin, among the saints, as well as the saints that ain't, the Great Pumping Heart circulates information, not only about salvation for the soul, but also about salvation that leads to self-preservation in a world from which poor people must demand their rights. Like a great, pumping heart, pumping life for the flesh to live, likewise the church gives the poor community life. The Great Pumping Heart is the place for any community leader to start if he is to reach the masses. The lawyer and the man who needs a lawyer can only be found on common ground in the church or the grave. And so, the Great Pumping Heart struggles to pump life and hope to parts of its community, overweight with the insanity of violent acts of inhumanity, born out of frustration because salvation for the soul was not enough to pump. But the Church must ever remember that a little leaven, leavens the whole lump, and that Christ died for the Great Pumping Heart to pump the news of eternal life.
