"If A Work of God Doesn't Continue,"

[The Lemon]

Not trying to over-simplify my 2-cents here, but I remember years ago being told that ministry begins one-on-one.

Long and short....if we all are not careful, we run the risk of not being wise ourselves and measuring ourselves by ourselves.

Statements like this may hold SOME merit, however, they can also be a way to broad brush as well. If I am doing my level best to make a difference whenever I possibly can, and reaching out as best as I can - then it stands to reason that I will not be focused on what the guy or gal across the way is accomplishing or perhaps not accomplishing.

I have seen quite a few one liners recently, which are bascially said for us to read between the lines and I question the sincerity and motive honestly...the problem with a statement such as this is that there are countless folks who have been saved under a ministry that has since fallen apart...to say that the minstry was not of God would be in error. To say the person backslid and left the Lord would be correct.
