Very cool church

I didn't like a couple of my more recent posts.  The 'net already has enough blogs and web sites by Christians criticizing stuff other Christians do.  To be sure, criticism itself isn't necessarily a bad thing.  Look at the way Jesus took it to the Pharisees.  But here I'd rather focus positively on living like Jesus and keep the criticism at minimum.  After all, I think a big reason that people don't live like Jesus is we really don't take the time to ask how to do it.

I teared up at the end of this video.  "If I'm not being taken advantage of, I'm not being like Jesus."  There you go.

You were fine, Jim, I think. Making sound judgments doesn't hurt.

It was interesting dialogue between people.

That was a great video. You seem to know what it means to not be afraid of being taken advantage of!

In loving others there is a risk of being hurt. You can't love someone if there is no risk of being hurt. No matter how much you try to allocate resources rightly (we are called to be good stewards of the resources we have been given)the reality is that people can always misuse what we give them. But that is the risk! Giving our heart away involves giving our resources too.
