the cause for aid?
I am finding it exceedingly difficult to explain the validity of a church's missions programme and aid to intellectuals. It is difficult even rationalizing the intellectual aspect of it that rationalizing the spiritual aspect as the underlying principal that dictates all subsequent actions seems almost impossible to put forth. The academic questions about the validity of aid provision are however ones that I think need to be grappled with. But argh...how....one of the huge struggles ........putting forth the spiritual validity of missions. How else do we put it besides God guides our actions?i do acknowledge that I myself am limited. Limited in understanding, even comprehension. Limited in execution, limited even in will to think it through some times. Come back to the spiritual aspect and pray. We serve a limitless God. I can already hear the intellectuals biting back.

I'm no intellectual, but for what it's worth, you have my full support here.
I suppose it is a intellectual problem if you take aid as just a pragmatic solution to raising people out of statistical poverty.
But i suppose, aid, especially from a church, is not about that at all. Its not the raising out of poverty, but the irrational act of giving love that counts.

hmmm....
intellectualism biting back here:
atheists are the world's biggest idiots because they totally miss the point that there is no point to life
the only point of life is to live it.
existential validation or so called scientific proof that god exists only in the mind or in the scientific paradigm is inherently proof that god must exist, because that god exists must be logically valid by the ultimately circular nature of any theory of knowledge.
but at risk of sounding hypocritical,
the only people who are god-deluded are those Christians who believe in God but do not fear him.
I made the mistake of placing God after man in my heart. It is a sorry lesson to learn, and I was made an idiot, moron, and a stupid woman in the eyes of the world, but I believe it's ok as long as I can pull through with the help of my friends and families.
Just for the record, I do not need your support, but I would appreciate it.
