Somethinzzz

I was researching in the library and found this article. It's a scholary journal but I searched online and found a copy of it. This gives history from everything that happened before 9/11 to Iraq. It's all of course, oil.

How do we live lives for Jesus while living in the paradox of 'dying to yourself' & joy. I understand that joy can be found in this idea but how do you rationalize your own joys without puting yourself down? How do you pursue God with that? How do we do ministry in America without it being an occupational minister? People say things like "just live your life for God" but what does that even mean if I'm just 'living my life'..where is the 'dying to self' in that? How am I being a servant by 'living my life' as just being a christian.

im also having a hard time with how we should live. wether we should continue to pour concrete everywhere, or change soemthing. our lives have to be radically different than those around us. i dont know. i do. but i dont.
