But most aren't going to, because it's not the religiously correct thing to say in this age, unbelievably...<BR/><BR/>Christians today don't want to seem any different than their neighbors. They want Christianity to look cool and palatable to their friends. <BR/><BR/>Building houses for homeless people is safe. Safe equals easy. Safe equals normal. All of the things that today's Christian wants to be. Not that there's anything wrong with building houses, mind you....<BR/><BR/>Not many want to take the hard road and learn to KNOW. You are part of a tiny group, my friend!<BR/><BR/>Mr. Jar Head himself has been more of a DOer than most. He sure isn't an example of someone who only knows, and doesn't Do. So much so that he spent many a night in jail. Somehow I don't think that's the kind of doing Mr. Brian Jones is talking about....and yet, to me, the higher the price that you have paid while DOing, the more you have DOne....<BR/><BR/>Press on, fellow freakSuzanne Mosleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08016467762284042969noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3244560184450835898.post-53424746753534198632008-09-15T14:11:00.000-07:002008-09-15T14:11:00.000-07:00Ain't it interssting!The Lord Jesus insitutes, ina...Ain't it interssting!<BR/><BR/>The Lord Jesus insitutes, inaugurates the New Covenant that final eveing with The Twelve, and then leaves a lacuna of umpteen years before he provides data relative to the New Covenant?<BR/><BR/>In the vernacular, Wassup?Bob Lewishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02346928954493108106noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3244560184450835898.post-86515996527689291532008-09-15T11:43:00.000-07:002008-09-15T11:43:00.000-07:00Schmoozanne,I guess that I have always been kind o...Schmoozanne,<BR/><BR/>I guess that I have always been kind of a freak. Early on my doing was grossly overcompensate by selfish ambition and reward and much less about God. While on the outside appearance it looked, and could even sound like I was suffering for Jesus. But, thank heavens for the gift of a consience, and good friends I was able to discern my true objectives.<BR/><BR/>Thus, I agree with the Jar Head, I need to prioritize Knowing, to Be, and follow through with the Do.<BR/><BR/>What awaits me if I am out doing, and my knowledge is a different Gospel?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3244560184450835898.post-24501086260769222892008-09-15T05:50:00.000-07:002008-09-15T05:50:00.000-07:00The problem is, learning ain't as much fun as doin...The problem is, learning ain't as much fun as doing! And learning doesn't win you as much praise as doing does. Doing's gonna win out every time among the general public.<BR/><BR/>Doing is more politically correct than learning. Saying "I'm going to build a house for a homeless man" makes you look normal to the general public. Saying "I'm going to a bible study class to learn how to put the Bible into proper context" makes you look like a freak to the general public.<BR/><BR/>And nobody wants to look like a freak today.........Suzanne Mosleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08016467762284042969noreply@blogger.com
