many a hurting word. where is our christian love?

Well, it disappointed me further... to see a certain brother.. using such hurting words, which were aimed at another. intentionally or unintentionally, he said the sentance not just once, not twice, but many times in that short time frame.. and it totally disgusted me. gone were the days where each conversation became edifying... gone were those good old days.

Now all people talk about is school. School work. boring. can't you guys get any more interesting? I mean, school work is only one tiny portion of the infinity of God's creation. while perhaps an arcane understanding of mathematics in it's form and relevance (not just in understanding how to do A math questions)is the second highest form of knowledge on earth... we must understand that it, along with the third, fourth and all the rest will perish one day.. leaving only the highest form of knowledge. That is the knowledge of God. His word.

I mean... I found the infinity of creation just so astounding. a clear understanding of God's word actually explains many things we see in life. Even quantum physics can find it's small link to God's word. While many quantum physicists deny the existence of God, (they are of all men, fools. you'll see why.)quantum physics shows even more in depth the greatness of God. The foolishness of God is wisdom of men, and yet these foolish physicists still refuse to acknowledge the greatness of God. The arcane mystery surrounding the intelligent design on which this earth is built and run. Physicists over the centuries have taken much time explaining the three dimensions, (thats where our 3d comes from). but the fourth dimension(time) they can barely hope to explain. God but created it (time) with but a sentance. (I believe God could create it without speaking if he wanted to.) All these complex physics, higher schools of learning, the ultimatum of human intelligence we as students can but struggle to grasp.. is the foolishness of God? surely this shows how worthless the work we engage in school is. Why keep harping on it? I think more profitable edifying conversations are.

It's sad that somehow, schoolwork has crept into our fellowship. And somehow, this has led to greater academic competition. i believe that was the reason behind that brother using those hurting words. Where is love in this fellowship?

With all that, insensitivity has crept in too. Few are those who truly care about how the person next to them feel. Few truly enquire; from the number of people who post long posts here.. I guess you can tell (that's a pretty good gauge). gone was the time where people really share their hearts out. Now it's but a few sentances going 'oh.. i'm having exams now. very stressed. ok the end.'. Gone were the times where people went 'oh, you know, God has been so gracious to me over this past week. This happened and yet im stil ok.. blah blah..' so much more indepth into their lives. So much warmer.

i'm feeling really sad to see this fellowship heading this way. in writing this.. I appeal to all who read..... to make an effort to reach out to your fellow man.
