Several times I have said that I am the greatest public authority on brothers and sisters in Christ…but this is like saying I am the greatest public authority on musical toenails. There is not a lot of competition.

That’s why so many of my posts have been links to other resources…because those resources are so very scant and hard to find! I am trying somehow to broaden the field, get the ball rolling, whichever way you like to say it.

My Question: why do you think it is so difficult to find stuff to read about brothers and sisters in Christ? I am sure that other people know much more about it than I do, but it seems like they never bothered to write it down. Whyever not??

My Theory: In recent times, with gender-type barriers breaking down and things like marriage and sexual purity coming under attack (which isn’t that new, by the way), Christians really like to talk about Romancey Relationships to the exclusion of — sometimes everything. In previous times? My only guess is that things went the other way, with men and women being so far separated that even friendship was out of the question, let alone sibling-type love. But that’s a mostly groundless guess, since I know very little history.

My Subtle Suggestion: Post Things on my forum, or Say Things to your friends, or Google Things and let me know if you find them — about girls needing brothers and guys needing sisters, or leastaways being blessed by them according to God’s design.

Yeah…I’m tired of being able to search for brotherly things on Google and find myself when I click “I’m Feeling Lucky”. o_O!!!
