Grace for your spirit
I know that after my departure savage wolves will come in among you, not sparing the flock; and from among your own selves men will arise, speaking perverse things to draw away the disciples after them. Acts 20:29-30
Jesus, our good shepherd, admonished us to be faithful sheep. To let Him shepherd us, and stay in the sheepfold unless He guides us to safe pastures. Sheep are weak and vulnerable outside the fold, and predators attack. Many of our congregations are like that now. Churches made weak by unfaithfulness are vulnerable too. Predators hear our cry, like weak and wounded sheep, and come to attack, divide, and destroy. We need to keep Jesus at the door of our sheepfold, and strengthen ourselves to the attacks that are ahead. They might come from outside the church or even from our own people. Our strength comes in prayer, study and fellowship support. Let's not be a statistic on the church obituary list.
