Denominationalism

[Mary]

I am just wondering how you can call yourself homeless if you are able to: a) claim on your website that you live with a "brother in Christ"; b)are able to access a computer and set up a website (which accepts donations) c) continue to access a computer to make posts such as this one?

It seems to me that if you were being honest in your claim that God provides for you, you would not tell people that you are homeless, but you would tell them that God has provided you a home with a friend, at least for the time being. Maybe people are shying away from you, not because you are homeless, but because they discern that you are not being completely truthful? Also, if you claim to be homeless, you are actually denying God's provision for you.

Furthermore, when you criticize leadership and hierarchy I feel confused as to your motives. If we follow the metaphor of the body, we accept that all parts are equally as important, but that at different times, depending on what is being done, different parts may dominate for a time. For example, when walking, the legs are dominant. However, the legs are a servant of the persons desire/need to move to another place. My understanding is that Christ wants us to be a servant at all times, no matter what position of leadership or "lowliness" we are in. Your discussion/criticism seems to imply that servanthood is recognisable by being homeless. Taken to it's logical conclusion you imply an inverse hierarchy, where the lowliness of the person would indicate that he is a/the leader.

A true servant would not draw attention to his servanthood, would not say look at me I am a poor lowly servant. A true servant, like body parts, is only noticed when not functioning well, or is missing.
