in the midst of ...
in the midst of east LA, on a small campus, in the center of an often-deserted auditorium, lies an old Steinway grand... some of the surfaces of the keys are broken off but it still plays beautifully, and the nice people living downstairs in the media room hold the key to the door.

that Farmer's compassion has the capacity to be redemptive... and is redemptive and I honor him for it. Through history God shows His redemption through the most unlikely, so Farmer's compassion can be viewed as redemptive not only in practical terms but also its capacity for eternal terms. That other part is another discussion on another plane; I don't see a disconnect and yet I'm not used to talking about it in the plain non-cliche terms which you may prefer. But I will give honor to where honor is due and Farmer is one of them (even if its different from what I'm used to).

I have the tende...
I have the tendency to frame everything in terms of Eternity (specifically in the number of souls saved and or brought closer to the knowledge of the goodness and mercy of God-- which makes Faith the critical piece of any picture). Meanwhile you have an appreciation for the benefits and progress made Today... Both are good... But I'm remembering a picture someone mentioned way back (was it even one of those ICF retreats?) about aligning everything in life against two posts-- one post for 10 years from now and the second for Eternity-- that picture has been implanted in my heart ever since. If one like Farmer is aligned with the first post alone, its my prayer that the second will come as well; I think thats the missing piece thats been bothering me this whole time and the place where we differ.

I agree with the...
I agree with the celebration of compassion of those outside of the church (God = Love) and the world indeed does many things far better than the church today. but what I find concerning is the reality of eternity and souls lost forever despite their compassion, good works, and temporary triumphs-- everything that seemed so important deemed in the eyes of the Judge as nothing...
Yes its not limited to one occupation but goes for all-- like the God Out of the Box book, anyone in any occupation, walking in step with God, goes far beyond human imagination- and I was just imagining one like Farmer walking in step with God, thus resulting in far more world shaking changes

True, true... but is it medical malpractice to share temporary hope in a dying world without offering eternal hope? Recently thinking about the reality of Hell and its absolutely painful.

must be nice to build a corporation based out of human trust :) finished the 1st part of mountains beyond mountains-- so much human compassion! although I dream of what it would look like with God-inspired-compassion...
