| Imagine if you found out the water you drink was monopolized, and people on the other side of town did not get any. (Kind of like the Peligre Dam in Haiti).
If salvation is only for the elected, then the metaphor above describes how I feel. For the sake of survival, I will still drink, but everything about it is flipped. I thought missions and evangelism was an opportunity to present the Gospel to an unbeliever, have them accept, and allow the Spirit to enter into their heart, securing their place in Heaven. Now, it seems that missions is a way to reach out only to the elected because those that weren't have no chance at salvation. My bible study seemed to take this as cop-out, but I'm beyond that. Again, I'm still going to drink that water. However, how is faith, trust, submission, and obedience going to help me with the brokenness I feel for the damned?
I haven't cried like that in a while.
I'm sure this is confirmation that the intercession I experienced in the Summer was just the beginning.

| So if the marriage between a man and a woman is supposed to symbolize Jesus and the church, how are men allowed into heaven?
In other words, if the "bride" of Jesus is not gender specific, why should our view of marriage on earth be any different?

Was Prop 8 worth it?
It turned an entire people group against us.
Basically, they hate us.

God, I love your ways.
Guide me.
Rebuke me.
Teach me.
