kara sent me (and others) this link. don't ask how she found it. she claims innocence. i'm perplexed by it and am wondering if anyone can help my failure inability to understand. is he loony or am i stupid?
In other words, what seemed so tragic to George Verwer—as it does to me—is that so many young people were being lost in the cause of Christ’s mission because they were not taught how to deal with the guilt of sexual failure.
Note carefully how I am saying it: They were not taught how to deal with the guilt of sexual failure. The problem is not just how to not to fail. The problem is how to deal with failure so that it doesn’t sweep you away into a whole life of wasted middle-class mediocrity with no impact for Christ.
i was confused after this.. after this i thought i got it.
The tragedy is that Satan uses the guilt of these failures to strip you of every radical dream you ever had, or might have,
that makes some sense to me.. but then this?
and in its place give you a happy, safe, secure, American life of superficial pleasures until you die in your lakeside rocking chair, wrinkled and useless, leaving a big fat inheritance to your middle-aged children to confirm them in their worldliness. That’s the main tragedy.
