Acts 20:28 Pay careful attention to yourselves and to all the flock, in which the Holy Spirit has made you overseers, to care for the church of God, which he obtained with his own blood.

I am speaking of the church brother. Wherever we may be found. Jesus taught us to discern who are in Christ among the peoples of the world. Did he not? 1 John 4:1 Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, for many false prophets have gone out into the world.

If a person hangs in places where the spirit is evil, they are feeding their spirit evilness. Our amour becomes heavy and weak if we do not replenish our spirit with His Spirit. When that happens, and we do not find rest in Him in order to continue His purpose for us, we become what we feed ourselves, just like our enemy.

Does not John 7:24 tell us we should not judge by appearance but use righteous judgment? We know ourselves to be able to stumble and err in our walk. How are we to recognize when we do so if we do not have sincere members of the church to share righteous judgment and help guide our steps when we may not notice we stumble? There is a manner in which the brethren share the love of Christ and keep and guide one another to walk in the light. From a place of love is where we are to be in community with one another.

It is always my intention to build and or help others on this forum. I don't ever log in here with the attitude of lets see who I can tear apart today. But I seem to get misunderstood a lot. Then I get caught up in the whole thing and lose myself altogether. I am an imperfect being. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Certainly those who are not in Christ will absorb darkness when they let themselves endure dark places. But what of the sisters and brothers who are missionaries in dangerous places? Those countries that are hostile to our faith? Especially in the early centuries when for instance Jesuit brothers would enter into ancient Japan and minister the word of the Christian God. That very dark place wherein the Japanese authorities would torture those missionaries for daring to speak the truth of our Lord Christ did not turn those brothers dark. They gave their lives as martyrs so as to deliver the light of truth to a fallen people. Those missionaries that enter into any hostile pagan lands to this day. They live among the people , maintain their resolve to bring the good news to tribes, and cultures, that do not have this. That environment does not turn them dark. It inspires their resolve ever more to bring the light does it not? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
