My sermon this morning was based on James 5:19-20. It dealt with bringing back those who’ve strayed from the faith. We all know people like this. They may very well be saved. They may even have served faithfully in a church for a while but now, for whatever reason, they are no longer involved in a church or ministry at all. We have an obligation to share God’s word with these people if we have the chance. Statistics say it’s harder to reach these type of people than any other but James tells us if we can reach them, we will save them from death and cover a multitude of sins. What an awesome word for us today. I know that when someone I know of who’s been straying gets the fire in their lives re-ignited, it helps me also. Perhaps I’ve grown a bit weary and cold at times and moments like this bring me back to what God truly had intended for us when he told us to go and make disciples.
My church family agreed! We had many raise hands for boldness in this area at prayer time. May God continue to grow and shape us as we strive forward for Him!
