Serving the least of these...I was in a position when I worked with the government many years ago where I was serving this very population in our city. I am embarassed to say that I began to resent it after a few years. I lost my heart for it and became a bit hardened to 'the least of these'. I was quite a new Christian and didn't really have that heart of compassion for people - not God's heart. Any compassion I had was of my own flesh and that is why it disappeared. This is the main reason I left the field.
I don't have a question, really. I just want to say that I cannot wait to read this book after watching the video clip and reading what the author had to say here on the blog. I believe, that even though I messed it up 9+ years ago when God presented me with the opportunity to serve, that He will use that past experience I had to continue to stir me up to serve today. But this time, I understand God's compassion and it is through HIM that I will serve, not by my own steam.

in the truth about evolution: what separates us from the animals on BibleDude.net
great post, Dan. I am currently taking a class on Creationism and it is fascinating. I just completed "Case for a Creator" by Lee Strobel. Interesting stuff indeed. I was brought up on evolution and even read Origin of Species as a teen but it never quite fit for me. You raise some great questions about morality.

Thanks for stopping by Marlo! It's always great to hear from you! This is a pretty amazing debate... I actually just recently had a conversation with someone who was pretty convinced that there wasn't a God, and because he was an engineer by trade his reasons were very 'evidence' based and calculated. However, I still felt like it was a little short-sighted regarding some of the other solid reasoning supporting the Christian viewpoint. And this is a big key to the debate, I believe...
