What's My Boundary?

I watched a fashion television podcast tonight, which brought me into a series of self-questioning.

The event's name is LIFEBALL (more info can be found in: http://www.lifeball.org/lifeball/show_content.php?language=en). It is claimed to be Europe's largest and most spectacular annual charity event dedicated to the fight against HIV and AIDS.

I thought such an event should be meaningful, for the money being raised could be used for researches and the improvement of disease treatments. It means a lot to HIV and AIDS carriers. However, after watching the podcast, I was stunned. The event was nothing more than a lustful party for those rich in material but poor in souls.

I asked myself if I was given an opportunity to organise such a "charity event" to raise funds for HIV/AIDS reseaches, the amount of money to be raised was guaranteed to be enormous, and a great number of people are to benefit from it, whether I would take the job.

Part of me urged I say YES to it, because after all, those people are to perish in their indulgence in lust, and why not use their money to save those innocent people who are suffering from this disease?

However, part of me urged I say NO to it, and the Holy Spirit is in this side. I am reminded that I should not create a venue/event for people to indulge in their lust. Even though my motive may be good, it is not what God would appreciate. Once again, I am reminded that it is not what I do that people get saved, but what Jesus did.

I know that if I really want to start my career in the event industry, this will definitely be one of the situations I'll be in. I thank God for preparing me for a choice that I am to make sooner or later. Praise Him!
