Subject: Should Christians practice nonresistance |
Bible Note: Charis: I am in agreement with you, especially when you write: "Serving God is very different from 'social work'." In his devotional classic, "My Utmost for His Highest," Oswald Chambers writes: "Practical work for Christians is greatly overemphasized today, and the saints who are "bringing every thought [and project] into captivity" are criticized and told that they are not determined, and that they lack zeal for God or zeal for the souls of others. But true determination and zeal are found in obeying God, not in the inclination to serve Him that arises from our own undisciplined human nature." |
