I believe He also said that the world, our parents, friends, other family, governments, innocent by-standers, the list goes on, would call us foolish, no, wait....FOOLISH!!! To HELL with what people think. I am following Christ. You can either join the ranks or become Laodacian. If you don't get that last comment, check your local Holy Bible in the book of Revelations.

And how many of us ignored that simply because we were caught up in ourselves and our counterparts. <BR/><BR/>That night, many may have felt a desire to emerge themselves in that situation. I can't even imagine what sort of thing would have happened if we, as a community of student leaders seeking Christ, would have pushed away the thoughts of missing a ride back home to realize what was in front of us.<BR/><BR/>Equally ashamed.Nathan O.https://www.blogger.com/profile/16554650950024069684noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31977324.post-72132357932109805242008-04-19T12:01:00.000-04:002008-04-19T12:01:00.000-04:00My guess is the latter.My guess is the latter.Daniel Coutzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00222910059855791243noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31977324.post-61192344958640326362008-04-18T08:06:00.000-04:002008-04-18T08:06:00.000-04:00i'm glad that you are struggling with this paradox...i'm glad that you are struggling with this paradox, and seeing it clearly. keep wrestling with those symbols. <BR/><BR/>and i am sure it makes one wonder whether Jesus would have been on the boat with the Christian leaders, or if He would have been with the homeless, with no place to lay his head, except the concrete.myoldblog2009https://www.blogger.com/profile/06123635516642842808noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31977324.post-8542353292579516492008-04-18T00:39:00.000-04:002008-04-18T00:39:00.000-04:00I know this tension.

Here's my advice, for what it's worth: "Give generously to organizations that are set up to help the homeless recover." Homelessness, in all seriousness, is a mental disorder. The longer a person is homeless, the greater the possibility that they will become detached from reality.Joe Foltzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17889344399629469633noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31977324.post-57270579181969700952008-04-18T00:20:00.000-04:002008-04-18T00:20:00.000-04:00I had a similar struggle as I walked by that night...I had a similar struggle as I walked by that night. I really felt a tugging on my heart to give my jacket to one of the men we passed. Initially, I followed it, I walked probably 5 steps back towards him to offer my jacket, but was immediately confronted by the same crowd/image/judged conflict, as well as the goofy idea that somehow I really needed it. So I turned back around and joined the rest of my friends as we walked pass.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
