[net.religion] Plunge II & Week 1/2 review

rogers (05/06/83)

	Steve (dadla!hutch) is more or less right in what
he said about me.  I do not (deliberately) avoid people who
are using dope or drinking.  I feel it's my job to convince
people that they should have a personal relationship with
Jesus Christ.  If I must go into a bar, or to a dope party
to do it, then I will.

	That does not mean that I don't try to avoid these
kind of places, since I have to set my own standards for
myself.  I don't want to be exposed to dope fumes, or
cigarette smoke (they make me physically sick now), and
while I'm not a "tea-totaller", I know my limit (1 beer
maybe every 2 weeks, average).  

	So, I, like every other "true" Christian, have to
let God's Spirit work in my life to guide me when to and
when not to bend my standards to conform to God's plan 
concerning witnessing to others.  When I have the choice,
however, I avoid these types of places, and when faced 
with one, I get up and leave.
