The church(not the building, us) does a great job of trying to bring in those that have never known the Lord, but what are we doing for the backsliders? God forbid, but have we just brushed them aside, saying "they chose to walk away" or "they put themselves in the situation they're in. That my friends is hog wash!
The word of God says that he is married to the backslider!
Turn, O backsliding children, saith the Lord ; for I am married unto you: and I will take you one of a city, and two of a family, and I will bring you to Zion:
Jeremiah 3:14 KJV
We must do what we can to reach them! There's nothing wrong with making new converts, but what about those of the flock that have wandered off and went astray? Would a shepherd just forget about one of his sheep that have wandered off or would he do what he could to bring them back into the fold?
Just something that's been weighing on me today, bless you all!
