Sleeping with Sheep: The Church's Thorn

“There is nothing new under the sun…Whatever is has already been, and what will be has been before, and God will call the past into account.”  Ecclesiastes 1:9; 3:15 


Beloved, I implore you to pray for all those who place their trust in Christ, yet believe the lies of the enemy that they are unworthy to be loved, always subject to rejection by others, and, thus, vulnerable to the advances of preying pastors, to which they succumb. Thus, “if a man be overcome with a fault, those which are spiritual, restore such an one in the spirit of meekness, considering thyself, lest you, too, be tempted.”  Galatians 6:1-10


As for those pastors, who prey upon the weak and vulnerable, and thus, lead many astray … woe, be unto you. “Woe be unto the pastors that destroy and scatter the sheep of my pasture, saith the Lord.”  Jeremiah 23:1 


Praise God for each one who overcomes … who are “snatched from the fire,” and restored by the grace and mercy of our Lord and Savior.  Blessed be the name of our Redeemer!
