fellowship
I'm beginning to think that either the Christians here are too luxed about working out their salvation or the Christians in Uganda are too "spirii".
Last night we were invited to the Wharton Christian Fellowship (WCF) it took place in one of the apartments in Centre city, thats a bus ride away from home. The party was hosted by a nice guy called Kim David, he is studying for two degrees at the same time, people can really be sharp or is it having too much zeal for life?! He is studying for both his medical degree and his MBA, now how about that?, maximum respect I tell you.
We were so looking forward to the event that we got there an hour and ahalf early.The communication we got was that it started at 6pm but as it turned out it was scheduled for 7:30. The host was nice, he invited us in and told us to feel at home while he went to buy food for the party. We watched TV and read some books, time went by and people begun to show up. The usual, introduce yourself, where you come from, what you are doing and AOB. There are no announcements, well apart from the prayer to bless the food.Its was kinda like a pot luck where people offer to bring a dish, so we attacked. As usual after or during the meal which ever the case maybe one would need a drink and guess what?! there was lots of beer. I'm slowly growing a tough skin to some of these things, on sunday I saw one lady walk out of the church and immediately light a cigarette. It can be very confusing I tell you, I need God to help me have the right attitude. I have spoken to some of these people and its amazing how deep they are in God, its clear that they have a relationship. Its not what goes in but rather what comes out that makes the difference, right?

No way!
ReplyDeleteStay true to the high calling sister!
Whereas smoking may not be expressly banned in the Bible, and probably is not in itself grounds to keep one from heaven; chances are that you get there smelling funny!
As for drinks, i have no recollection of malt based substitutes for the fruit of the vine! Even then, the ratio of positive versus negative comments are firmly skewed towards the negative.
Take the higher ground!
What many don't understand is that the human body is a temple for God. So any such thing as alcohol and cigarettes (such as have any damaging effects to the body) damage the temple that is supposed to be of God.
ReplyDeleteAlcohol damages the liver, and smoking damages the lungs. It shouldn't be difficult to see that as children of God, we need to treat our temples with utmost care.
