The enemy of Christians' dreams is self-
interest. Saunders said He cited Ihree
evidences of the presence of this enemy: a
preoccupation with self which can be
noted in one's language lifestyle or at-
titude a loss of vision; and a sense of
isolation from the world
The answer to the question "Who will
love the world?" has to be honest open
vulnerable Christians he said
Saunders suggested three ways to battle
the enemy of self-interest First he said.
Christians need to cry out to the Lord for
this generation and seek God's vision
Then Christians should concentrate their
thoughts on his vision thinking about
future results of current evangelism and
passing God's vision on to coming
generations he said Finally Christians
need to prepare for the future by working
now for the fruit to come he said.
"It is always right to do good: always
right to love even when love is not retur-
ned." Saunders said
