| Re: Outreach | | EDIT EDIT end
Dear Greg,
With the utmost respect, I would remind you that there are many in 'the church' who commit sex offences, and unless we respect them with the respect that Christ did, when He chose to die for their sin(s), we need not expect to draw them to us or to Him. We need to love them, not mock or despise them. |

| Re: | | But we're called to hold eachother accountable, also. Someone else said that "of all the things Love is, Love is not tolerant (of sin)." If a brother in the church is living in sin, it's our responsibility to rebuke them, not sit back and accept the sin. If these are going to church members, it might be a good "hint" that they're doing something wrong.
Grace and Peace... |

| Re: | | Oh, sorry, dorcas. My last reply is a bit out of context with the edit you added. I wasn't sure what your reply was in reference to.
Grace and Peace... |

| Re: outreach | | rocklife ~> I was interested to know if your tracts have a human contact information on them. Or are you just putting out the tracts. I was thinking that we need to pray also for those people who may get involved with the offenders. It's important for those involved to be prepared when dealing with very carnal people. Also I would be cautious of anyone feeling the desire to help others when they are not completely freed from bondage as well. It is admirable; however, Christ doesn't send anyone into battle without haing the full armour in place. |

| Re: | | Yes, I appreciate prayers for those other laborers who are part of this outreach to, its not just me, that is why I ask prayers. Thank you so much, we need all prayer support we can get. I believe this glorious works God gives has been going on at least 2 years or so (with me anyway, hopefully has been going on thousands of years with Him), I do see prayer is most important of all, and pray He guides us about doing all the works related in His ministries.
I pray God leads about these ministries, and other laborers to come along as we sow what we can, and others do their part too. I also pray for our other laboring brothers here, thank you for letting me share this other ministry of our Lord Jesus also _________________ Jina

| Re: | | Thank you again for all prayer supports, and thank you also Sermonindex and repentcanada and dorcas and everybody, your notes are very encouraging. All glory to God for His loving family, and His good works to do in saving souls. (Yes, believe in Jesus is the only way, we also have good service we can do while waiting for His return, we are servants too) Thanks again _________________ Jina
