Grace for your spirit
Dear friend, you are faithful in what you are doing for the brothers, even though they are strangers to you. They have told the church about your love. You will do well to send them on their way in a manner worthy of God. I John 1:5-6
Sometimes the church seems to specialize in stomping out error like a duck in a forest fire. The church often becomes the sheriff of right and wrong, inclusion and exclusion, and becomes like the people of the Old Testament. We seem to think if we keep error out of the church, our job is done. What is our record on helpfulness? Helping those who are struggling, saving the lost, and lending aid to brethren who need help? When people talk of us, will they talk about our love and help? What is our reputation among the brethren and the world? Let's take another look in the mirror.
The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit
Philippians 4:23
