"Not to act is to act" - Dietrich Bonhoeffer_Let us be people who act in love communicating with grace and truth for God's glory and the good of others!_No matter what, may we all do our part to help one another steer clear of the impending danger ahead!
There's a Brooke Fraser song titled "Albertine" and within that song there's a sobering lyric that has stuck with me for years that states "now that I have seen, I am responsible, faith without deeds is dead".
_
This is so true and as follower's of Christ as well as from a practical standpoint as a we seek to be a good neighbor, co-worker, friend, etc, we have a responsibility to help others (within reason of course) once we know of or see a circumstance. We can always at least pray for others but if you saw someone running to cross the street and they didn't see a car heading their way...I certainly hope you and I would try to warn them or pull them out of harms way!
_
The same is applicable to spiritual danger, relationship danger, the danger of addiction financial danger and more.
_
This may be counter culture but the culture should never stop us from doing the right thing by lovingly reaching out with the hand of help toward our fellow man.
_
They may not accept the advice we give or heed the warning but at least you did your part to reach out and warn them of the impending danger you see them heading toward. It's also not getting into everyone's business or about being right, rather, it's an overall attitude of caring for others and Christ cares for us as He meets the spiritual, emotional and physical needs we have!
_
This especially applies to those with whom we have a relationship of some sort with and over time earn their respect and the right to speak into their lives and they in turn hopefully do the same toward us!
