My conscience won't allow it unjuststeward.txtthread

My conscience simply will not let me solicit the friendship of someone (saved or unsaved) just to realize some financial gain for myself or the ministry. The thought of it is completely contrary to what God has been teaching me about what reaching out in true love really is. I can\'t think of a more selfish way to use somebody. Partiality and favortism is at the very heart of our sinful nature--entertaining people for whatever benefit they can provide. That is precisely the \'old man\' I want to see crucified. Thank God that He (God) did not do that to me, leaving me an example to follow. Just when I had nothing to offer Him, He saved me: \"...because of his great love for us, God, who is rich in mercy, made us alive with Christ EVEN WHEN WE WERE DEAD IN TRANSGRESSIONS...\" (Ephesians 2:4) \"You see, at just the right time, when we WERE STILL POWERLESS, Christ died for the ungodly.\" (Romans 5:6) One of my favorite scriptures that almost always causes me to well up in tears is Luke 14:12-14 (THIS is the very heart of God!) \"...When you give a luncheon or dinner, do not invite your friends, your brothers or relatives, OR YOUR RICH NEIGHBORS; if you do, they may invite you back and so you will be repaid. But when you give a banquet, INVITE THE POOR, THE CRIPPLED, THE LAME, THE BLIND, and you will be blessed. Although they cannot repay you, YOU WILL BE REPAID AT THE RESURRECTION OF THE RIGHTEOUS.\" God, create in me THIS kind of love that you might be glorified and my joy will be complete. \"...the ONLY thing that counts is faith EXPRESSING ITSELF THROUGH LOVE.\" (Galatians 5:6)
