Scars don't hurt!

[SUNSTONE]

It's as easy as wiping a blackboard and writting something else on it.

A major problem with Christians in the US is they really don't live any different than nonbelievers.
It's a very selfish lifestyle.

If you don't have a goal to fight the sins in your life, and to help others over come their problems/sins, then you are missing the balanced Christian life, and you will suffer that sin.

People take better care for pets than they do people.
They spend more money on make-up than they do trying to make this world a better place.
And you wonder why you suffer?

I'm guilty of the same thing, I'm selfish, and I suffer for it.

The only way is for Christians to work together to over come sin, and take a great deal of time and money to build Safe Houses.
These Safe Houses can help others get from from the bondage of sin, and then they can be productive Christians who's life is centered around the Kingdom of Heaven.

A safe house for everything now huh? It starts with addictions, and now we need safe houses for general sin? You speak of balance, but Balance is not what you preach. Balance is the ability to produce, mental steadiness or emotional stability; habit of calm behavior, judgment. All of which are qualities the people you have been berating have, by examples they have shown you.

But you again have shown us, you have your own agenda, with your own definitions. I see a very angry man who want to place everyone around him in a lock down environment, so as to feel comfortable to seek the help that you need. Brother Stone it is with much love that i bring this to your attention again. If you need to be in a place like a safe house where everything is monitored then please seek one out.. In fact didn't you say you checked into a place like this for another problem you were having? what ever happened to that? Did it work? are you free from sin? Did the cost justify the outcome?

If not, then how can you justify the expense of a month of room and board for a person who feels ok with there life, but may have had some injustice brought upon them in the past? What are they to gain exactly, If they truly fit the definition of balanced already?

The past determines how your present unfolds, and how difficult it is. I can understand that no one's going to have a perfect life, but sometimes bad things happen more often than we can handle.

Look at a scar as a memory of some traumatic event. It compels us to avoid whatever the cause was, and sometimes to avoid significant portions of our lives, out of fear. Fear isn't always easy to overcome. It's like that because it has the effect of keeping us alive. The trick is to remember and learn, but not fear. Sometimes scars go away, but that's after a long time in the absence of injury.
