CHRISTIANS AS "CONSUMER" OTHER PEOPLE.
By Randi Ingwersen
The authors argue that there is a consumption of employee prevalent among Christians where one does not hold out and unable to participate in a Christian business over time. There are several reasons for this as the author takes up such with their own examples. God can lead us into different projects and businesses, but here it is consumption and manipulation of other people who are unhealthy, painful and creates great difficulties for everyone! Picture shows Evangelist Jornstrand as an example of a person who has a business that is like a villa turnover with people having participated with him are both divorced, apostate and resign in his Christian life.
Having been in a so-called "Christian team" here in the south, my experiences and thoughts of many. It is worst in the aftermath and there is some frustration when it's on too, hurt, has for me been very instructive, given a lot of knowledge, to actually realize that these are people who do not live by the word of God, but Christians who actually only wish success for themselves and their families and others is a foreign word. And who of us had not had success with 24 hours of work a day? Without that it would have needed was from God? There is nothing on this earth that is better than that other people feel good and that you can pedal to help others, and without expecting anything in return. For order's sake you give the never if you expect something back ... then it's better not to.
That can help to release ex. a family to spend their time and energy or their finances.
But one tube to for Jesus and of the heart, but it's not one of us who like to be exploited or not appreciated or simply not being taken care of or cared about. / Experience there will also be a great deal of frustration.
Thinking of how many Christians who are good in words ... but it's just words. Do some fast would argue that "yes, clearly we care about you and how can you believe something like that?" .... But it is so clear? When not in action?
When you have been on personal and church work so I thought it is horrible wonder that those saying themselves to be spiritual awake, do not even ask you, how do you have it? Why is there no interest in you and I'll have it good?
Thinking of the people had helped me the same way ..... and I would really have the overall best for the people and not just let everything scour. Just think of such a little thing to put out money for others .... yes, clearly one can, but when I actually expect that this will be refunded, without having to go to ask to get it back, which I the rest had never gotten around to doing. And when you keep posting ..... and they can quickly become much ..... Just think about how I was in a difficult situation himself and was open about it and when Christians then ask if I can post, so I wonder how they can ask for it, whether they have been listening to what you are? Or are they for when it comes to anyone but themselves? But one more thing, if I put you out, saying it's okay and suddenly those who were remembered it "forgot" to ask you how much they are owed you ... How is such an "forgetting"?
I have repeatedly experienced in those years (the last 5), that suddenly called a brother call ..... and soon after to another call ..... but they do still not know why they call or that it actually has been the Lord who reminded those in humans, which has been in trouble .... but I think the Christians on here do not understand the context. Something called "spiritually blind"?
From experience I know now that if Christians do not understand, God will use other .... and he has done .... but believe it or not .... those who still live in the world is more obedient than my experience with Christian brothers and sisters in the Lord. I know of an unbelieving woman who had been kept awake a whole night ... because she thought so of me and my family ..... and she actually helped. There is so much to experience such .... from people you do not even know and who also claims to be a believer.
Let me take an example.
My husband would help in Kristiansand, taking down a building actually. He is calling for and wanted to help. Moreover, it has been important for us to be doers, unit even though our difficult economic situation and we showed that we could get it, even when you actually everyone. We are 4 in the family and have 1 car. More should be looked at their jobs and it is not actually the bus here all day and you are then dependent on being picked for work.
Several times this talk about .... we only have 1 car ..... car shared on all four of the family, who all have a driving license. It can at times be a bit of a puzzle.
If you / I should get help for some project we were in, so we had both been very happy for the help? About other makes of his time and energy for you and me? And what if you had to drive over 1.5 mil .... and park a car seat because you were helping them took it as the main course for many to not care about how you got there, because this was a collection point, so no one offered to come and get those would help, actually did not understand or may not care what you came forward to help them? Or thought about some of the rest of us here at home? and what about this extra in gasoline? and how many times must humble about his difficult life situation, so that people understand or bother to listen, what's in?
Why was it not offered to come and get the person who would help you? Is it any wonder you wonder? why they say that they are so alert, actually sacrifices you and yours a single thought? because you and your not actually mean a thing ...... is it possible? yes .... unfortunately. And so painful to experience .... I am much afraid that you / I DO NOT mean a thing .... it is certainly many Christians have shown in practice. Our belief is, among other things, if one is full of God's spirit and power then you are a caregiver! As both see and pay attention to people, brothers and sisters around him! And actually shows love for his family and especially listening for what are the needs of others?
No, Christian Norway which really shaken by the power of God for there is much lethargy and sleep. Very few are awake, it's sort of faith and true faith is hardly to be found today. Many people believe in their own terms, it must come in their own way. Terms of faith in a way. Have own terms.
In fact, these Christians said that they had hardly been helped by others in their work for the Lord, but when I confront "the other" as they say it is not true and that they had been using throughout 7 years. But where are the people who helped much gone?
Why is it ever new employee with? It does not reply on ... because it is hushed down or alleged that others then apostasy. Have actually seen many of the old film footage from these meetings here and there were lots of people who are no longer present in the meeting and which clearly had a service and that probably was resourceful now is away ... where are they gone? Is it eat up and chewed and spat out? without those who were bothered, did not it? Yes, it is sad that some Christians consume other people ...... and that all efforts be made nor was significant.
One such church life is NOT God! We have a loving and caring God who cares about their children's welfare and wealth! This will of course infection through each server, His children will shine the same light! Thus deeds. Maybe it's time to remind once again of God's word which Jesus says, "This is my commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you. No one has greater love than this, that he lay down his life for his friends. (Gospel of John Chapter 15, verses 12-13. Also read in chapter 21 verse 15 onwards where Jesus asks Peter, Do you love Me? 3 times .... The result of this is that you / I then care about, have love the, his children and family).
Many people confuse what love is and just think it's about the love between man and woman. Think .... The Bible is mostly about other people!
Those who did not care for the children of God, brothers and sisters, is illegitimate brothers and sisters. When they see the difficulties come as they flee. Or will not take a position on something and pulls completely away.
Is there a situation in meetings where only applies to whip up the atmosphere at the meet evenings are and get communes bucket around and very important, so neither hear or see more of them before you even show up at these meetings. Thus ... the next time you get there. In fact, it is common courtesy nor used, either hello or goodbye or how it goes from most who walk there. Only many of the Christians here are most concerned with getting the word .... hums home neither looks to the right or left and do not care about other than what they can get ..... I see Today in etterpåklokhetens name ... when it was stated in one of the first meetings: The main thing was to get there to see what the Lord had for them! Dynamite ..... it's completely forgotten what you / I can give to the Lord? and time to put away ourselves? nor ask what we can do for God and other people? Having experienced how cynical many Christians may be above other people and does not even respect. In the collections here will get mood .... yes .... but it can also get in on the private concert?
Although it is popular does not delete it be of God, and I got full vishet in my heart that God is not doing so and pulled us back either ... and then you wonder how safe it has gone? When did it happen great things and we have been richly blessed! All glory to Jesus who opened my eyes <3 Thinking about it too when I have been richly blessed and as fast as some Christians have heard about it, I've been called down that they would like the recipe and says that the Lord is no respecter on their children. That's right, he makes no difference, but are you willing to go the way I did? I have not always done everything right, but I really try to do my very best in all situations. Can you put yourself and your on hold for some other people? Are we willing to bear the burdens of others? Are we willing to live a pure and holy life for God? Heard countless times Christians who say they are not perfect and we make so many mistakes and so much sin, only such statements make me stop .... that many Christians tend to say that they actually have something to hide. pursuits .. with sin and evil. And that's another topic.
One day our witness out and I already know all the feelings ... where all those we thought were real Christians actually sends us back .... and perhaps hoping others could tread to help us, so they could drop? Is not it embarrassing? And you see the Christians who go on as if nothing has happened and I wonder how long God will find themselves in it? or will they just go in the ring? .... Yes, it stops most likely Hallelujah Hallelujah feel and high factor .... These years of the "popular" PinseKaresmatiske Christians here in Norway lasted about 3 years, I could have done without ...... or maybe not? Then really started our walk with God and the blessings have poured in after it denounced the false ...... and new doors opened. This has made us much stronger ......... and indeed much of God's word has just become even more obvious to us but sad that it should be like that among Christians.
We will never remain silent about the false ..... Many who miss a real community :) but it sits too many around who are "damaged", has been exploited and used .... and then there will be the skeptical Christians too. There had been so much easier if this were people who "were still in the world, unsaved", they would be least understood everything better ....... but these are people who have been saved for several more decades ... . God bless each reader :) -
