Section 29

I finished in two years by transferring some credits and taking some courses by correspondence. I remember sitting in the bus station, supposedly on a date with Drena, working on correspondence courses.

I have since come to see that giving away everything for the sake of the gospel can turn into a twisted and legalistic rule. Some, for example, feel it is unspiritual to maintain an attractive home, but I have found that a beautiful (though not extravagant) home can be a good witness to our neighbors of the joy we have in Jesus Christ.

In recent years, we have come to believe that we should show our esteem for our partners in the local church by sharing our needs with them so they can join us in prayer and in giving.
