spotlight and silence

There have been two of many worthwile tasks that have consumed my time the last few weeks have been shooting for our silent(ironic?) film(which im pretty excited about), and Silence. Silence has brought up a question at the end of the book that everyone has probably asked themselves, and that is, what would you do in that situation? The truth is, I can't answer that question. I have a hard enough time answering why I deny Christ and let myself do what is easy, as opposed to what is right. Every time i sin, I deny What Christ has done for me. I would say that I have failed miserably in the respect that we are to love our brother as ourself. If I can't stand for Christ for my own sake, how will I be able to stand for Christ at the cost of others? Who is to say that by denying him and sinning, those consequences will not effect the people I love; was David any different when he took the census? At any rate, this is how my gears have been running after the last few discussions in class...



p.s. I commented on Nicholas Sean Hampton's post.
