Hey, Sherpa Dude! I like your new name!
Thanks for clarifying about Larry Goring, because I do hold him and his lovely and brilliant wife in high esteem!
I believe he will accept your apology, and I hope he understands the reason we are all so fired up on this Forum, and how sometimes we could make an error in judgment in the heat of a moment.
Tension is high. I know mine is.
I believe we do have a live example of Jesus' story about the Good Samaritan going on here. We all have our own busy lives, our on-going responsibilities, our ministries we're passionate about and focused on. We are only human, and do not have inexhaustible levels of energy or huge amounts of resources.
We wear down, we wear out, we grow weary and oh so discouraged.
There is someone bleeding there by the side of the road.
I think I'll just look the other way and pretend I don't see their injury or hear their crying.
BUT STOP!!!! PAY ATTENTION!!! THAT'S A CHILD, LYING THERE!!! AND NOT JUST ANY NAMELESS, FACELESS CHILD!!! THAT'S MY CHILD!!!! IT COULD HAVE BEEN YOUR CHILD!!!
How, how, in Jesus' name!!! could ANYONE in NTM not care, not stop, not get involved???
Oh, I am crying tears of deep anguish over this ....
I hurt so bad ... so bad ....
