Extend A Hand of Fellowship


“The backslider in heart will have his fill of his own ways, but a good man will be satisfied with his.”   Proverbs 14:14

We are hesitant to approach people who are living openly sinful lives because we think that they are satisfied with their state of being.   We should not make this assumption.  This scripture speaks of the discomfort they may feel.

Those who fall from grace have a rough time coming to grips with the idea that God still loves them.  Our lives are not just about our mistakes, our lives are about our ability to turn away from sin and back to God. 

We need to take the Gospel to these lost people and extend the hand of fellowship to them.  They may not take it, but it is important that they know that God’s grace is still for them.
