A Pilgrim's Progress Part 1

A Pilgrim's Progress is a dream from a man named John Bunyan. It's about a man named Christian who had a huge burden on his back from reading a book that said his city would be destroyed. Christian then met Evangelist who told him the only way to get that burden of his back is to follow the path and never turn back, so he ran he ran with all his might and didn't look back. His friends Obstinate, and Pliable ran after him and finally caught up with him just before he reached the path.They tried to convince him to come home but instead Christian convinced Pliable to come with him. Christian and Pliable were traveling but began to stray from the path and fell into the River of Despond and Pliable seeing all of his past sins left Christian stuck in the River. Soon a man named Help pulled Christian out of the River and showed him the path.

What would you do? 2# Ability to help?

What would you do if you had the ability to help someone who really needed to be helped? How many times have you seen a homeless person with a cardboard sign saying,"Please help a poor person" and you pass him without a sidelong glance. Let's say you're walking to school and you see a poor child asking if someone could lend her some lunch money and you have twenty dollars in your backpack what would you do? When you have the ability to help someone that means you have the ability to bless someone what you do from there is up to you.

What would you do ? 1# inside knowledge

What would you do if you had knowledge of some scheme that includes a person getting hurt. I would tell someone who can help stop the unfavorable of this scheme. Lets say one of your best friends were planning to rob someone, and they ask you to help them. Would you help them or would you tell someone? Think of it this way, you have the ability to save a life or take a life. One story that shows these specific circumstances is the story of "Guy Fawkes" he had the idea to eliminate the English government, so he joined a group called the "Flanders" and they were planning to put gunpowder in the cellar of the Parliament. My point is anyone of the Flanders could have chosen to save a life but all of them chose to take one so their lives were taken.
