Campfires vs. Forest Fires

Today in my Equipped to Serve class at East Valley we learned about and discussed gray areas when it comes to Christian freedoms. I could write a 10 page blog explaining the scripture that was discussed and freedoms such as movies, music, dancing, alcohol, etc. Rather than explain what I learned, I would like to give your mind something to wrestle with. The instructor made this very true and convicting statement: Christians are too focused on putting out the campfires, while behind them the forest is ablaze!

Are we too concerned about our own freedoms that we neglect to share Christ with the world that is burning up all around us?

Good stuff, brian. I actually missed that class because of other ministry commitments... but my fellow students (i.e. my parents) filled me in on the details... but I did not get to hear that line. Hmmm... now there's conviction for you...

hey brian...
thanks for sharing! To bad we missed that class that week. Do you have your paper done?

I'm so with you there, Brian. Romans 14 is what it's all about. The Big Picture.

Hey Brian,

I actually have a file for excellent quotes on different topics and I would definitely like to know the author for that one. Let me know, Brent
