I think that 'his a...Hi Jeremy,<BR/><BR/> I agree with you. I think that 'his agenda' has his own agenda, because he sure doesn't seem to recognize God's. <BR/><BR/>Actually, It would not surprise me if that remark really came from some person who just trying to give Christians a bad name, by masquerading as one of us. Like one of those 'audience members' who asks the pastor on the talk show if God hears the prayers of Jews. <BR/><BR/>The real purpose was to stir up strife, so I'm glad you set that straight. <BR/><BR/>I also just wanted to say that Compassion International, mentioned in this posting, is a great cause. Since Christians must choose where to send their limited resources in charity, they should choose organizations like this one that not only serve mankind, but promote the knowledge of the Lord.lorenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12913487595726748404noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14012689.post-1120316510362242032005-07-02T11:01:00.000-04:002005-07-02T11:01:00.000-04:00His Agenda,WE SHOULD NOT TAKE THE WORLD SERIIOUS A...His Agenda,<BR/>WE SHOULD NOT TAKE THE WORLD SERIIOUS AT ALL. THE WORLD WILL TAKE CARE OF ITSELF.<BR/><BR/>God takes the world seriously. The world does not take care of itself, God does. As God's servants that are led by His Spirit, we should be concerned with the future of the world, not only in an eschatalogical sense but also in awareness of present human suffering. Christ Himself gave us this example as He healed the sick while He was here on earth.<BR/>DONT MIX UP HUMAN COMPASSION WITH THE WILL OF GOD.<BR/>It is God's will that we be compassionate people, not only to our fellow believers, but to the world at large. And the world at large is suffering. We realize that this world suffers because of the presence of sin and that the only real, lasting remedy is the Gospel of Christ, but it is wrong to say then that we should abandon people to their circumstances. We are to be Salt and Light.<BR/>I agree with Steve that fighting world poverty and AIDS is a good cause. A cause that is not only fitting for Christians, but tailor-made for Christians.Jeremy Weaverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02552780649310262425noreply@blogger.com
