They had their chance and chose for themselves and their children. Sadly we do make choices that affect for our children. I cannot feed everybody I know and I don't believe HE expects us to.

I added it to my queue, as well… like you, I find it encouraging that Christians are speaking out on all issues. While this is our temporary home, we should speak into this sinful world and glorify our God. I'm happy to have found you and welcome your insight!

It's very encouraging to hear that other Christians are going through the same struggles, and are closely aligned in their views. Thank you for your blog; I recently discovered it and really enjoy reading your articles.

God has made each believer to live in harmony within the body of Christ, "so that all the members care for each other equally." (1 Corinthians 12:25). So when a part of the body doesn't participate, it affects the well-being of the entire body, right? Your point is well taken, and I thank you for your gracious comment.Pam Kohlerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00678673505358164380noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-367019700923216960.post-17973553701817352832014-10-26T13:27:34.636-05:002014-10-26T13:27:34.636-05:00I certainly don't mean you any disrespect so p...I certainly don't mean you any disrespect so please don't take this as such, but we lived through way too much of the "I am a believer therefore you must help me mentality" in Sudan and other places around the world. For the most part Christians did attempt to help themselves, but some would not, and those are the ones we refused to help. But we respect your opinion and each has to do as they feel led to do. Personally, for all the hard talk I do it will be very difficult if not impossible to turn away infants and small children simply because their empty stomach is not their fault, but rather the fault of their parents. Either way let us pray we both make the first and better resurrection and not the Great White Throne Judgment. That's scary. thanksAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-367019700923216960.post-59654836777231185322014-10-26T11:41:51.361-05:002014-10-26T11:41:51.361-05:00There is some truth to what you say, but as for me...There is some truth to what you say, but as for me, I cannot turn my back on a fellow Christian, even if it costs me my life. I don't want to stand at the Great White Throne Judgment seat, and say "I didn't feed one of your children in his hour of need." Perhaps I can give him a slice of bread from the loaf I baked that day, and send him on to the next Christian to help him. I agree that we will not be able to harbor everyone, but Paul says in Galatians 6:10: "Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all people, especially to those who belong to the family of believers." <br /> <br />These will be difficult times to be sure, but we are to endure through all trials and tribulations, never forsaking our faith. I pray that I will show the courage of my Lord when the time comes to make these hard decisions.<br /> Pam Kohlerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00678673505358164380noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-367019700923216960.post-886735220262974842014-10-26T10:49:49.263-05:002014-10-26T10:49:49.263-05:00I take no joy in saying this, but fatigue is just ...I take no joy in saying this, but fatigue is just part of the weeding proccess. That is very blunt, but it is a fact. Wasn't it Peter that said, " Better to have never know [Jesus] than to have known Him and turned back'. Yes, we are worn out at trying to hold our tempers when talking to people that don't understand our walk with Christ or why we prep. However, there is a biblical verse that helps me deal with this. It is not spiritual revenge it is just the way the Lord has to deal with some people, so here it comes. Paul, speaking of one of his helpers said, "I have turned him over to Satan for the destruction of the flesh so that the Spirit can be saved in the day of Judgement". Now that is brutal also, but this is what we have to do with the nonprepper after teotwawki. Do we kill them, not hardly, do we feed them, absolutely not, we just ignore them and let them die of their own ill prepared devices. Yes that is biblical, for Christ said, "In your affliction you shall seek me early'. So while they are dying of starvation, choas, and disease then at least their souls will be saved. Sometimes you have to accept things as they are for these types of people that sincerely believe that everything will contiue to be ok will just have to learn the hard way. You cannot help them, don' try. thanksAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-367019700923216960.post-5776591908473363032014-10-26T08:11:18.521-05:002014-10-26T08:11:18.521-05:00Thank you for your perspective ...

Do not be frightened and do not be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.<br /><br /> This is one of my favorite verses. I feel the Lord has prepared me my entire lifetime, for these end times.<br />I too struggle with what my decisions will be when friends and families with children arrive at my home, when it all falls apart. Can I and should I, turn away hungry children and friends? What would Jesus do? What does he want me to do? As painful as it may be, I know there are some I will turn away because I have warned them for years and they have ignored my warnings, saying I have lost it. What about the innocent children, who are not able to provide for themselves? How can I look into their hungry eyes and say no?<br /><br /> I guess I will have to deal with these as they come along. Jesus does say not to worry about tomorrow, as tomorrow has worries of its own. God has always taken care of things I can't. When I grow weary, I lay it all at his feet and take refuge in him. He does bring perfect peace to those whos mind is stayed on Thee.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
