Barbecue before the Bible

Job 6-7 & Galatians 6:11-18

People don’t care how much you know until they know how much you care. I have heard this a number of times regarding evangelism, but it also applies when approaching someone that is going through hard times, whether it is disease, death, loss of wealth, loss of a job, whatever they are going through. The reason is because when we are often going through rough times we know when someone is reaching out because they care or not, and we are more open to listening to those that care. Job expresses this view in chapter 6 by addressing his 3 friends basically letting them know that unless they can sympathize or empathize with what he is going through and show true care for him, their words are nothing more than empty and meaningless.

I have seen a number of times where we tend to approach someone by viewing their storms as though they are the same storms we go through, This isn’t always the case, your storms in life may be, and often are, different from my storms and it is wrong to judge your reaction to your storms based off of how I got through my storms, while there may be similarities the best thing to do is to listen to each other showing that you care and just as in the “Mourning Booth” skit by the Skit Guys remember that sometimes the best approach to those suffering is just to be a friendly presence.
