Re: Do you feel at all responsible?

A light illuminates a dark place. But, it is very annoying to stick a light in someone's face.

Re: Do you feel at all responsible?

What would happen if the sin that was in our heart; the gossip, hatred, ugliness, self-righteousness, and hypocrisy was written on our foreheads- we wouldn't be able to fellowship with anyone or even look in the mirror :/

We have two girls who have been coming to our youth group that have said they are bi-sexual. They sit on the back row, but they come. The other night I walked over to them and as I was walking up they looked nervous, they were completely surprised when I asked, "so do you prefer spaghetti or fettucini alfredo? (This is my normal first question to new youth that I don't know- it keeps em on their toes)

I have two kids in the youth group, and I have encouraged them to get to know these girls. As long as we show the love of Christ and let Him do the work, then we can trust that He will.

Awesome. I wish there were more of you. How did the conversation progress after your initial question?

One said fettuccini and the other said spaghetti, then we talked about how horrible school lunches were. They said they would be back Wednesday

Hmmm. Did they choose whether to like fettuccine or spaghetti?

Why not - - it's our responsibility to reach out to them and tell them there's a better way.
