Greetings Dear Reader,
The idea that we need to be safe on a personal, local, and
national level is reasonable. I must,
however, consider the cost of that safety.
I must always weigh safety against sacrifice. We must do some things to be safe in light of
what might happen. We wear seat belts in
cars because there might be an accident.
That is reasonable.
If my national security endangers the lives of the innocent
then is it worth defending? I am not
sure where that line is but I know that I am required to sacrifice for the
wellbeing of others. I cannot justify
letting others suffer because of what someone might do.
On the personal level, I cannot withhold doing good for
others because of what they might do or become.
They are responsible for what they do with what they are given. It is my obligation to do what is right and
good. The Father will sort out the
rest.
I cannot meter my doing what is right based on what others
might do in response. It is my obligation
and privilege to do good no matter the behavior of others. I need only look at what Christ did in
response to the things we do to understand this principle on a personal
level. I cannot adopt a philosophy of
refusal to help based on others actions.
That is not following in faith.
Wishing you joy in the journey,
Aramis Thorn

who has become a disciple of Christ’s rule of the universe is like a home
owner. He liberally hands out new and old things from his great treasure
store.”
