Paul Rusesabagina: I am glad that you have shot this footage and that the world will see it. It is the only way we have a chance that people might intervene.

Jack: Yeah and if no one intervenes, is it still a good thing to show?

Paul Rusesabagina: How can they not intervene when they witness such atrocities?

Jack: I think if people see this footage they'll say, "oh my God that's horrible," and then go on eating their dinners.

As i was watching Hotel Rwanda i watched this part, and heard the lines of this scene and i was very taken back by it.  I don't want to continue to eat my dinner. It all seems pointless, I feel a sense of urgency, people are going on with their lives not knowing God.  We are wallowing in our violence, and selfish pride.  It is blinding us to seeing what is really happening! 

I'm sick and tired of sitting and just "eating my dinner".  I can eat later, God wants us now, He needs His people to rise up to the occasion and live out our claims of love for Him.  We are his chosen people and He wants us to grow His family. He doesn’t need us to but He has entrusted us with this responsibly and I don't want to just "eat dinner" while God is waiting for me to love, feed, clothe, and just listen to His people.

How, then, can they call on the one they have not believed in? And how can they believe in the one of whom they have not heard? And how can they hear without someone preaching to them? And how can they preach unless they are sent? ~Romans 10:14-16
