Quote of the week

"Whatever form it may take, the theology of hyper-faith causes Christian compassion to deteriorate into an obsessive fix-it mentality. People and their problems cannot be tolerated, but must be instantly remedied. Why? Because the self-esteem and the emotional equilibrium of the supposed helper are at stake. In the hands of such “care-givers,” the one being cared for cannot be allowed simply to work through a problem in his own way and at his own speed. No, there is no room for that. Instead the thing has to be fixed immediately." —Mike Mason
