Even the greatest teacher the world has ever seen (Jesus, of course) met people's physical needs before he taught them (feeding the multitudes, healing the sick, casting out demons, etc.)<br /><br />Too often, people think Christians just want to make themselves feel good by telling them about God but not really caring about them as a person. This is true in far too many cases. The easiest way to fix that problem is creating relationships. This usually starts with meeting someone's physical and emotional needs...many times before they will be open to having their spiritual needs met.<br /><br />However, once those physical/emotional needs are met, there has to...repeat HAS TO...be involvement of a spiritual nature. Otherwise, you become a charity (physical needs) or a therapist (emotional needs) instead of a witness to the gospel of Jesus Christ.Hoss Hugheshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10723157224893786636noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6043896815483163341.post-44921836822834333342010-12-24T08:05:39.547-08:002010-12-24T08:05:39.547-08:00The more I thought about it last night the more I ...The more I thought about it last night the more I came up with a focus on Phsyical needs only doesnt usually mean spiritual needs are taken care of but a focus on spiritual needs usually ensures that basic physical needs are taken care of, Still thinking on this oneAFScrapperMomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16409195710504313430noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6043896815483163341.post-73899413946116566892010-12-23T21:20:18.950-08:002010-12-23T21:20:18.950-08:00My son just joined a mission organization that doe...My son just joined a mission organization that does just that. Maybe we should go through their training. Last year they saw thousands of people come to Christ as they helped meet their physical needs.

When you solve it let me know, until that happens, Ill pray about itAFScrapperMomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16409195710504313430noreply@blogger.com
