Hi community, it sometimes happens to me that a fellow brother or sister tells me that they sought help from their parents, although they don't believe in Christ as their savior. I mean it could be that they offered it.... but what if they did not or rather reluctantly? and without getting their potential grandchildren involved? I think the Bible is clear (Eze 34): Should not shepherds feed the sheep? 3 You eat the fat, you clothe yourselves with the wool, you slaughter the fat ones, but you do not feed the sheep. 4 The weak you have not strengthened, the sick you have not healed, the injured you have not bound up, the strayed you have not brought back, the lost you have not sought, and with force and harshness you have ruled them. 5 So they were scattered, because there was no shepherd, and they became food for all the wild beasts. 6 My sheep were scattered; they wandered over all the mountains and on every high hill. My sheep were scattered over all the face of the earth, with none to search or seek for them. I think the elders of your local church are the ones that should look after their local church members. It is their task to help somebody who is in need of and belongs to their church, IMO. I also feel that this applies to physical churches only. This board is really nice, no doubt, but I think a PM discussion in here could resolve 1% of someone's trials only. What do you think? Have a very good day Thomas P.S.: I'm sure that GoldenEagle has discussed this verse somewhere in the leadership threads, however, I didn't read all of his threads... I hope I don't double post here.
