One of the things I appreciate so much about Jesus is His willingness to have a close, personal, and nurturing relationship with me individually. If we are not careful, in the course of large 'church programs,' we can forget one of the more important aspects of Christian witness and ministry which is the need for our personal involvement -- one at a time "and from house to house." And knowing our friends and family today right where they are today and not looking back to the past...
It is better to be innocent than penitent. ~William Secker~
"Be not deceived; God is not mocked." He will not bestow His favors upon the wicked: for while He will not cast away a perfect man, neither will He respect an evil doer. Thus there will be three effects of nearness to Jesus-humility, happiness, and holiness. May God give them to thee, Christian! C.H. Spurgeon
As Christians, we are, to be honest and upright in our dealings with people both within and outside the church. We have the opportunity of pointing people to Jesus not only with our words but also by our conduct.
