Off With Their Heads.

[Scott Hutchinson]

Brethren if a man is overtaken in any trespass ,you who are spiritual restore such a one in a spirit of gentleness ,considering yourself lest you be tempted.
Bear one another's burdens and so fulfill the law of Christ. GAL. 6:1,2 NKJV
Here we have the great Apostle Paul , instructing the Christian church in Galatia to restore those who have fallen in a trespass , and consider yourself lest you be tempted ,and in doing so you will be showing yourself spiritual.

It's been said that the Christian army is the only army in the world who buries the wounded ,and what an indictment again'st The Lord's church.

So very often when believers get off track and get their eyes off of Christ they stumble and fall.
How many reach out a hand of hope and healing and restoration and reconciliation to the fallen ?

Alot of times folks sneer and said well I knew they never had anything anyways ,I knew they weren't right ,yeah they never had the Holy Ghost begin with , I knew they were half -backsliden yeah off with their heads I knew they wouldn't ever make it.

How many wounded folks has the church buried and left for dead ,and didn't even bother to pour in wine and oil and nourish them back to spiritual health?

Have we cried off with their heads and dug a grave and threw the wounded in and let them die ?

Or have we proven ourselves spiritual and have tried to restore those who have been taken in a trespass ?

Excellent Post Bro. and full of truth. I want to be an encourager.

[Scott Hutchinson]

Thank you The Lord deals with me about subjects like this.
I know sin must be judged but the harsh self righteous attitudes of some really disturbs me.
Paul said he was what he was by the grace of God and nothing else ,the only goodness we can claim is what God's grace allows us to have.

Excellent thoughts Bro. Hutchinson.

Good post, Scott. It is indeed a terrible indictment on Christian churches today - especially apostolic churches (upc, aljc, pajc, paw, etc).

I know one pastor who's stated multiple times that a friend of mine cannot be forgiven and will go to hell for sins he committed.

It's sad to see lives destroyed by pastors and ministers who are arrogant and judge and condemn people to hell.

I pray these ministers experience a fresh vision of hell, so they can understand the horrors and perhaps next time they won't be so hasty in condemning someone there, but will try to help them back to God.
