Jesus faced a society like this, and leaders of their church who thought they knew the will of God, the truth. But Jesus told them: "I am the Truth." He evangelized, and they converted, even the gentiles. <br /><br />We are not Jesus, but He has given us other talents. I don't know what the "right" thing to do is, but I do know the wrong thing is to give up. I do know that the wrong thing is to agree with un-truth. I do know that the wrong thing to do is emphasize our differences. Jesus found common ground, to begin the conversation with sinners. A couple of times, it was to feed them. We know our cultural adversaries have an emphasis on themselves and their wants. I think we need to find a way to give them something they want, for themselves, to start the conversation. And then give them more.<br /><br />I'll be thinking and praying on that in coming weeks.Do Not Be Anxioushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04607616214486933423noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7332117297336636395.post-76561203493105783972012-11-09T22:13:00.380-05:002012-11-09T22:13:00.380-05:00The election left me filled with sorrow for our na...The election left me filled with sorrow for our nation and our society. I'm even more convinced now that we can't hope for changes through the political process. We must pray and trust in God.A Secular Franciscanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09184259228282290040noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7332117297336636395.post-67166070753196019282012-11-09T16:58:33.465-05:002012-11-09T16:58:33.465-05:00I think this warrior feels a bit beaten right now,...I think this warrior feels a bit beaten right now, and glancing at some other blogs I see I am not alone.Do Not Be Anxioushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04607616214486933423noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7332117297336636395.post-69247349040924280282012-11-08T14:38:42.856-05:002012-11-08T14:38:42.856-05:00I'm thinking "do not fear little flock&qu...I'm thinking "do not fear little flock" but I'll have to search to see where that's written.<br /><br />Yesterday I wasn't worth a nickel, and today my heart is still heavy but I'm remembering that historically, the Church has always been persecuted, and I totally believe the gates of hell will not prevail against it. In these times of great evil, the men will be separated from the boys. God has given America her way (for now). Our Country will never be the same again (sad), but whatever is next, God will call out his warriors. I am not afraid of the future no matter how dark it is.<br /><br />Thank you for your prayers, fasting and witness. The Church needs more warriors like you.Maryellenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09377453351113353957noreply@blogger.com
