Understanding...

I have really been struggling with this. There are people that would rather sit down and argue and debate over theological crud instead of going out and helping people. Why would a Christian, a disciple of Christ argue over the little, insignificant stuff while there are people that are suffering and needing love... God's love? It just doesn't' make sense to me. I thought that was an older, more conservative thought that not many people were still stuck in today... but I stand corrected. I am worried about the upcoming church, my generation. There are people stuck in their ways unwilling to move and people that are overly open and have no boundaries and restrictions or beliefs for what they do. We really are in a pickle...

Here are some just random thoughts that I could flush out... but I just keep coming back to them...

• Jesus' followers must seek to submit every area of their lives to him, including their political views and economic choices.
• Why do Christians tend to shy away from those in need... homeless, crack addicts, alcoholics, violent people, rapists, and even victims of these.
• The task of Christians is to simply announce the Good News. We can't save anyone. It's God's job to save people. So we need to stop trying to and becoming burned out and depressed and give up... Love is an action and is what we are called to DO!
