I was just listening to a John MacArthur sermon on the Will of God when suddenly one of my roommates came home. It's 4:30AM in the morning. It was the unsaved roommate, and he suddenly came into my room to talk to me. That's only happened 2-3 times in the past 5 months. He was stark drunk, and his eyes were red. He'd had too much to drink, but he tried to make conversation with me. It looks like they might be letting him go from his job. He said it sort of nonchalantly, but I know for a fact that it bothers him quite a bit, and may be why he chose to drink himself to the state he was in. He's been working there for 6 years and it's his dream job. He got a degree to get that specific one. He talked about moving to another state and making more money, but it's going to be tough to move somewhere else. Everyone he knows is here.

Anyway, he was talking about working for a church. This man isn't saved. And that's pretty apparent from his lifestyle. But he's probably been told that he is saved for quite a while. He's leading a sin-lifestyle that doesn't characterize salvation. He told me the Pastor of a Baptist church hired him. And that Al Sharpton is going to be speaking there soon. He was expecting me to react, but inside I was very unimpressed. What saddens me is that this Pastor as well as any of the ministers or the fellowship would never talk to him about sin or sit him down and ask him tough questions about his lifestyle. It's only me as his roommate who lives with him personally and can visibly see the way he lives that knows, and I'm disconnected from this body of people. There's no accountability. So, someone can work for their church and not have anyone confront him or enact NT-style church discipline and counsel him with regards to his sin lifestyle. This is so wrong... He left the room because he needed to lie down - he was starting to see things. I have a plaque on my wall with Hebrews 11:6 on it. He started seeing something over it.

Please pray for my roommate...
