Lion, when Ross and I were doing youth ministry we had a Catholic priest, rabbi and Presbyterian minister talk about their beliefs. It was so much fun to have such diversity in the room. I believe forums like that and forums like this stretch our minds, make us ask questions, and seek God's will individually. This is vital for growth to take place.

Someone asked the Presbterian minister your very same question. (I loved working with youth because they put it all out there. Inhibitions hadn't settled within yet.) Anyway, his response was the same as songs. How can one be judged if they haven't had the opportunity to hear?

Eagle mentioned being worn out by living her life by the book. That was the faith of my youth. I obeyed because I was scared. Now I take great pleasure in trying to live by Christ's example. It feels so much better.

Thanks to everyone for sharing such intimacies.
