prayerfully, am mailing tasteful gospel tracts and information to registered sex offenders in local city. Please pray for this outreach and for the laborers, to get into His harvest and Almighty God to bring salvation to sinners. thank you for prayer support, am praying also, I thank God for His love and truth that sets sinners free
Praise God, He will save souls!
Amen brother, may the gospel reach and transform to the guttermost (uttermost).
EDITguttermost EDIT endDear Greg,With the utmost respect, I would remind you that there are many in 'the church' who commit sex offences, and unless we respect them with the respect that Christ did, when He chose to die for their sin(s), we need not expect to draw them to us or to Him. We need to love them, not mock or despise them.
But we're called to hold eachother accountable, also. Someone else said that "of all the things Love is, Love is not tolerant (of sin)." If a brother in the church is living in sin, it's our responsibility to rebuke them, not sit back and accept the sin. If these are going to church members, it might be a good "hint" that they're doing something wrong.Grace and Peace...
Oh, sorry, dorcas. My last reply is a bit out of context with the edit you added. I wasn't sure what your reply was in reference to. Grace and Peace...
rocklife ~> I was interested to know if your tracts have a human contact information on them. Or are you just putting out the tracts. I was thinking that we need to pray also for those people who may get involved with the offenders. It's important for those involved to be prepared when dealing with very carnal people. Also I would be cautious of anyone feeling the desire to help others when they are not completely freed from bondage as well. It is admirable; however, Christ doesn't send anyone into battle without haing the full armour in place.
Yes, I appreciate prayers for those other laborers who are part of this outreach to, its not just me, that is why I ask prayers. Thank you so much, we need all prayer support we can get. I believe this glorious works God gives has been going on at least 2 years or so (with me anyway, hopefully has been going on thousands of years with Him), I do see prayer is most important of all, and pray He guides us about doing all the works related in His ministries.I pray God leads about these ministries, and other laborers to come along as we sow what we can, and others do their part too. I also pray for our other laboring brothers here, thank you for letting me share this other ministry of our Lord Jesus also
edit, please forgive
Thank you again for all prayer supports, and thank you also Sermonindex and repentcanada and dorcas and everybody, your notes are very encouraging. All glory to God for His loving family, and His good works to do in saving souls. (Yes, believe in Jesus is the only way, we also have good service we can do while waiting for His return, we are servants too) Thanks again
Hi rocklife,May you feel deeply satisfied by your part in this work. It is a glorious FACT that Jesus died for each and every sin and sinner. Many times, the effects of another person's sin ripples through the lives of others, and we must believe God is able to over-rule in each other person's life too - to bring the consolations to their individual needs. This applies as much to sex offenders, very few of whom make a consciously-controlled adult choice..... it is rather that they have no tools with which to make a consciously-controlled adult choice not to (sin in this way). This doesn't excuse them, or us from evangelising them. Truly, Jesus is able to change their heart's desires.
Hi groh_frog,I believe I missed your gentle 'touche', when you wrote this - I wasn't sure what your reply was in reference to. ;-) Just wanted to acknowledge in full.... :-P
