i struggle with loving christ personally, because being a part of what he’s doing is so much a part of it, but can sometimes replace it. ie. sometimes i feel like just another humanitarian…

Aaron – i guess the cause of christ, is whatever purposes he has for us on this earth…

YOUR OTHER LEFT!!thanks for the questions lon......skc wow, lon. you have a way of making me think more than my average blog subscription.

okay here goes:

do i love christ more, or the cause of christ? wow, i guess honestly i’d have to say the cause of christ. i’ve never “met” christ like i meet people in the real world. as i’m living out the cause of christ (which i would simply define as loving people) it puts me in contact with people. i was made for this. but it’s hard for me to complete the circle and realize that i have a love for people because of my love for christ. it’s not as tangible…

thanks for the questions lon……skc
