			<description><![CDATA[Reverend Dean, I ALMOST agree with you, but... ...yes, it is good to listen to the lost and downtrodden so that they may know they are loved, but to make it a blanket policy to offer no advice is not wise. As believers, we have the greatest news in the universe! In my Bible, Christ and his disciples ALWAYS spoke, even at the risk of offending/alienating their listeners (which they did pretty much every time). ...and yes, do without asking or seeking any recognition for yourself. But rather than being completely anonymous, I think it is better to be completely honest when serving others selflessly by telling them your true motivtion... that you are doing this only because of the Love of Christ in your heart. It was He who transformed your heart, filling you with love and the desire to bless others in His name. Doing this accomplishes two things; 1) It shows them that Christ's love is a real, tangible thing and not just an abstract philosophy; 2) It gives CHRIST all of the glory!]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[This group of bleeding heart conservatives reminds me of the bleeding heart liberals! They think that if they provide for a handful of haitians, then they are saving the Whole country and making themselves great. Maybe someday they will learn that Christianity is about laying down yourself to live selflessly to serve God. True Believers lay down their own desires and personality to anonymously serve Jesus. If these folks really cared, they would serve food at a homeless shelter and listen to them without offering advice. They would mow their neighbors grass and shovel their snow without being asked or telling anyone they did it. Oh wait, that doesn't make yourself great.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Matt 10:16 Behold, I send you forth as sheep in the midst of wolves: be ye therefore wise as serpents, and harmless as doves. ...To be sure, these brothers and sisters may have been acting harmless as doves, but not wise as serpents! :sigh:]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[I would have to agree with the Haitian government on this even though I am a christian. The law is the law and we have to respect it. It doesn't have anything to do with being christian or not. This Baptist group should have known better ...]]></description>
