I was reading in James 5 19-20 where anyone who turns a person from wickedness not only helps GOD save a soul but covers a multitude of his or her own sin as well.What a Gracious GOD we serve!!! To serve others on Earth is a great calling , however , to lead others to GOD in order for HIM to save them is even greater!!! So great indeed that GOD recognizes your efforts!!!
Oftentimes I am asked why my everyday efforts focus on GOD continuously. The answer is quite simple . I am a sinner . This world is so full of evil that a person would have to be stupid not to place GOD first in his or her life.Every time that I put Mark first the oddest thing happens . I fail.
It seems to me that GOD has given us two types of provision when it comes to covering sin . The first ; We can confess our sin and ask for forgiveness. This would require repentance . A turning away from the sin itself. The second ; We can pull others from the flame and cover a multitude of sin . This would require us to place GOD first , others second and ourselves last. In my humble opinion I know that for myself that I am much better off pulling others out of that flame-filled pit. It requires more effort , however ,I believe that it brings a greater reward in this realm!!!
I was at the lake today in Kissimmee with a brother and he stated ” man ,it’s hot here “. I replied ” If you think that it’s hot here……….. “. I believe that he got the message. I know that I did!!!!!!! Mark
