I feel that we need to stop using RM as a status, as a justification, and as a qualification. It is certainly an accomplishment, and in most cases, returned missionaries are outstanding individuals. Lest I be misunderstood, Im also of the opinion that serving the Lord on a mission is one of the most rewarding things you could do, and you should do it if you get the chance. But lets not forget about those who arent RMs and lets not judge them. We cannot stigmatize young men (and these days, young women, because trust me -- it happens) who did not serve or only served for a short amount of time. Sometimes thats due to medical, spiritual, physical, or mental reasons that we cant see. For us to assume that they are less than or unworthy is for us to become Pharisees. Would Christ do that? Would he refuse to befriend and support and build a relationship with someone simply because they didnt serve a mission? If you think so, you do not know Christ.
