Post a CommentNo doubt the sinful thrive when surrounded by others of the same ilk. Not unlike smokers being more comfortable in the company of other smokers... drinkers... and,yes, believers too. We all tend to seek our those who agree with us or do as we do for validation.... even the evil amongst us.
This is so true of those who deny the power of God to perform the work that he has promised to perform. And, of course, of those who have never known God at all. Live righteous. Be holy for he is holy. Pull others from the flame with fear and trembleing least you too fall in.
Wonderful piece Shaila.
I agree on all the points you have said!
I am a father and grandfather and I corrected my children and grandchildren BECAUSE I love them. I love correction myself and it comes from reading the Word of God. I have also been corrected by the ministry and if we listen to correction, we will grow in grace and knowledge. Good and godly advice here Shaila.
