been wondering who I should work with...
There's this guy I known. He's been a Christian for a few years and thaty was a great start, but now but by my yardstick*, err yes I seem to have one for others anyway, he isn't moving along with Jesus. He wants to draw on my time but not talk about how he's doing in life and faith and some of his patterns.
Some say just work with the willing. If it's not happening it's time for the "shake the dust from your feet" approach and to move on, Luke 9. That would protect my resources (stewardship) and also without the support he would not be less insulated from the consequences of some of his patterns (accountability). Guess it could be called a "tough love" approach.
Others say make yourself available. Be sacrificial and serve without looking for results. Pour your life out (grace). If you put your personal task/call before community with the other that's a statement against the community (one another stuff). And after all it took decades of others' graft before I work up to Jesus.
Any thoughts?
