I have struggled with this, simply because I'm a Christian and find myself getting a little 'overly involved', trying to change things myself rather than allowing God to use me for His purpose. But I digress...<BR/><BR/>Anyway, I understand your frustration with the 'Left'. What I have come to realize is that this new 'leftism' is a religion like none the world has ever seen. It is a religion that completely blinds its followers, and alleviates guilt from their consciences because they actually believe that they are doing something noble. I believe that if we can reach liberals, we can truly change things. <BR/><BR/>I used to be overly-sarcastic and 'snotty' to liberals, using irony to show the err of their ways. God has spoken to me and He said that I'm not to return spite for spite, and that I need to be very cautious with my words. <BR/><BR/>We truly need to see that these are people who need to be reached out to, and we need to love them right where they're at, as frustrating as that is, and as destructive as their line of reasoning is. It is a cult, and in order for their trance to be broken, we need to love them so that communication can happen. If they can trust us enough to have conversations with us, we can show them the love of Christ and the freedom only He can provide.<BR/><BR/>Thank you for your blog. I plan on stopping back regularly. <BR/><BR/>Joey @ PheistyblogJoeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10486763566668404987noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20271097.post-7080700139988956972007-05-09T12:09:00.001-04:002007-05-09T12:09:00.001-04:00Thanks, Jack.

I do tend to write some of my better things when I am a bit cranky :-)Glenn Pennerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13775729921874246091noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20271097.post-5002739606601011932007-05-07T23:26:00.000-04:002007-05-07T23:26:00.000-04:00Glenn, I certainly don't wish you to continue suff...Glenn, I certainly don't wish you to continue suffering physically as you have recently. But if this posting is representative of the "sick" Glenn Penner, I'm kinda hoping you'll take a little longer to get feeling well again. <BR/><BR/>Of course I'm only kidding, and continue to pray for your full recovery. But I am convinced that some of the most eloquent expressions of human experience come from our times of emotional and bodily tribulation.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
