As a Christian myself, some of the things said in here are offensive. God does not endorse someone that uses their parents for all they have, refuses to work, mistreats their bodies, lies, scams, and someone that embraces death because they are too lazy to work to better the gift God gave them - life. It's OK if you want to ignore any posts that question your commitment to God, that's fine, but I can still post this. And you are refusing to better your life. This Kenya thing is a fantasy. If it was real, you'd already be there like the people I have met who had that calling and threw everything away to follow it. I know yours is not real because you're waiting until the creature comforts exist in Kenya before you go. It is simply another vacation for you - like Utah.

I am not the world's best Christian, no, but we all sin, and part of being a Christian is forgiveness, which I am sure you know, but this is just silly. God has not endorsed your lifestyle. You're simply, again, hiding behind God in trying to justify your actions. You can quote the Bible and I can quote it too disproving your quotes.

I have never said I am perfect and by golly I sin every single day.  However, the Bible tells me that God doesn't use people who have it all together.  He uses people who are in a mess.  Think through the Bible.  Noah was a drunkard, Abraham and Isaac cheated on their wives, Jacob lied, Moses was a murderer, the Judges included an assassin, an adulterer, Samson cheated on his wife.  Samuel was a poor example of a father.  David was an adulterous murderer.  Solomon had 1,000 wives.  Elijah was a coward.  Peter walked around with his foot in his mouth.  Paul was a mass murderer of Christians.  There are many more examples.  Do you think any of them had it all together?

He's going all the way to Africa to hug children? Seriously? Not trying to be difficult here. It's just not processing for me. And I think he's sincere in his desire to help. I just don't see how he's helping anybody.

Yeah it really does honestly sound that way to me.

We will have roles deeper than that, and we will discuss our individual roles at our meeting on Sunday, 5 May.

He's also spoken about planting churches, although according to Wikipedia, Kenya is 80% Christian already. The remainder are primarily Muslims living along the coast.

I am not going to respond to posts that are trying to get me to doubt what I have been called to and are designed to get me to stay home.

Translation: I was caught in a lie, and there's no way I can get out of this one.

I think it's a little dangerous to compare yourself to any of those men. By that logic, anyone who is evil is simply going to be used by God later, and that is far from the case.

In any event, my point remains about your calling. Don't wait. Go and stay there now and don't wait for apartments, your CAD degree, etc. All you need is God once you're there. He will lead the way. Besides, like others said, Kenya needs your money more than they need your labor.

The men and women that God used in the Bible are no better than I am.  I am a mess, but so were they.

And God can use whomever He wants when He wants.  They are not required to have it all together, just a willing spirit.

This interrogation has no rhyme or reason other than to question my ethics, question my integrity, question my commitment to my Savior, so this conversation is done.

Come on, Inks, there's no point. Jeff is once again using God as an excuse to remain an immature, self-centered jerk.

Jeff is not even a real Christian. He is a "Christian" only because pulling off "God's will" is helping him with lying, scamming and taking advantage of anybody. Surely, Jesus would approve Roll Eyes

Bushie, you're just a pathetic fraud.

You really think you've only lied "several" times.  Define "several" for me.  Give me a range of what "several" is.
