The Highway Forums General Discussion Theology Discussion Forum To the least of these

The answer is probably in my mind, not how others in the church would see it. The resources I'm talking about is time and willingness. There are too few people who are willing to get involved in any discipleship or studies. Finances is also a resource, but small in scale to the others as I see it. Trying to get some to get involved in some type of discipleship is a chore, but finding help for mercy ministries is easier (at least on the surface). Maybe I'm being too judgemental, but people think that by helping others then they have the right to ignore their own spiritual walk with God. I think the spiritual morass in current day biblical Christianity is that we really believe in our own goodness, and it becomes too much of a works-rigthousness. I just find it difficult to reach the proper balance in all of this as doing 'mercy' is messy.
