Letters From War

I can't decide...

I can't decide what hurts more: seeing people with no teaching on Christ and His power, or knowing people with false teaching on Christ. Lately, we've had a man around the Caring Place who has either a lot of bad teaching from someone else, or he has some mad-crazy demon manifesting in his life...could be the same thing, but I don't think he has bad teaching. Not sure though.

I can't decide what hurts more: seeing someone with no salvation at all or seeing a backslider trapped in their sin without much knowledge of freedom. I have some friends...one has never met his Father. The other two have been saved, but like I said, have no concept of freedom in Christ. Therefore, they're trapped in their sin, with no visible hope of escape.

I can't decide what hurts more: having to tell people that we won't be having the soup truck tonight because we have no driver, or getting pissed off at them for being mad at us. Tonight, that's exactly what happened. It hurt to go tell hungry men and women that we have no food for them, simply ecause there is no way to transport it from point A to point B. It also hurt to have a few of them get mad at us and trash us, even after we were almost a block away they were still yelling.

I can't decide what hurts more: Knowing that there are people that are going to hell if they died tonight, or knowing that they're going because I didn't speak up for Christ.

I just can't decide.
