He may do this by justifying, by allowing things to go on that shouldn't and actually block God"
I'm really not sure what to think of this. The article is entitled "Pruning to bring forth much Fruit"
Any comments? |
Are you saying those that are struggling and on the verge of backslidding should not be helped as they are a part of the pruining process that is what I got out of it
