Or, to not help them in the way they want. Giving people what they want is not what makes someone a good christian.

Really good. Not that that means I have something to say about it....<br/><br/>I think, for me, this primarily refers to helping people out...I think Linda hit this pretty well in <a HREF="http://linda.squarehair.com/?p=8" REL="nofollow">this blog entry</a> as well. <br/><br/>I think alot of this relies on conscience. There isn't always one right/easy answer as to what you do because it's your job, and what you do because you can....<br/><br/>As Dion and I have talked about, this gets even more blurred and complicated when you work at a church...your christian life and your job blur....so, when you CAN help someone at work, but you don't, are you being a bad christian or just following your job description....i donno.<br/><br/>thats my lame comment on your 'crappy rant' (your words, not mine) :)</p> This is a good question.
