Just goes to show how much I care.....

I'm starting to see a trend here. Recently most of my blogs are inspired by questions or discussions I have had with other believers. Well this one will be no different. I find that other believers are one of the most under value:36d asset in the Christian Faith. Before I get into that I would like to give you a quick update on my life. Still work the same Job, I feel that spiritually I have started the climb of another mountain. I have also decided to start a beard....it is getting nice and thick, also to start black smithing. So to the next blog: Like I said before after a talk with another believer to whom I highly respect and is also going into missions. The question was asked: "Do you ever feel apathetic?" My answer was a mixed one. It was Yes to the people in Kenya, but a honest No to many of the people I serve in my current job. Part of the issue I think for me is for me to care for people who continue to make the same kind of dumb decisions and expect some different kind of out come. Yet, there are two things I have been reminded of after the weeks after that conversation. One is as John Piper explains so clearly in his book "Slave", everyone is a Slave to something in this world. It either has to be to Righteousness or to Unrighteousness. So just by sin nature alone man kind will choose to act in Rebellion towards God. The second is this, in scripture Jesus clearly cared for people. Scripture clearly shows us countless times throughout scripture that he had Compassion "When he saw the crowds, he had compassion for them, because they were harassed and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd." Matthew 9:36. I calls believers out, because he is our example. So here I am faced with another Biblical truth that I need to work on. I pray that God works on that in me and am very thankful for grace. I will tell you that first hand it is not always easy to have compassion everyone, but I cannot help but be reminded of the song lyrics "Everyone needs Compassion.....". Do I believe that?
