Exclusivity and Diligent Church Members

Often we are diligent working hard for the church with our #Sabbath duties. But end up working for each other only, while anyone outside the 'circle' we are used to are neglected. We experience spiritual lethargy and spiritual death while we think ourselves diligent workers of Christ. Time for a #revolution of heart. #evangelisminaction #medicalmissionary #missionarylife

Exclusivity and Diligent Church Members

“We found that we could do nothing for the scattered sheep near us until we had first corrected the wrongs in many of the members of the church. They had let these poor souls wander. They felt no burden for them. In fact, they seemed shut up to themselves, and were dying a spiritual death for want of spiritual exercise.

They still loved the general cause, and were ready to help sustain it. They would take good care of the servants of God. But there was a decided want of care for widows, orphans, and the feeble of the flock. Besides some interest for the cause in general, there was but little apparent interest for any only their own families. With so narrow a religion they were dying a spiritual death.”
