so i have this here friend named sayer and she told a really neat story this morning at devos
we have a HUGE fly problem in the kitchen here. which isn't too surprising since we cook under a tent :) anyway, she saw a whole bunch of maggots in one of our trash cans and became determined to get rid of them. she tried bleach and a whole bunch of other cleaning products trying to kill them. nothing worked. finally, she put gasoline over them and lit them on fire.
"brethren, if anyone among you wanders from the truth, and someone turns him back, let him know that he who turns a sinner from the error of his way will save a soul from death and cover a multitude of sins." James 5:19,20
if she wouldn't have killed those maggots, we would've had so many more flies to deal with within days. if we see one of our brothers in sin and we turn him away, we save (by the grace of God) him from so much more heartache in the future.
thanks sayer!!!! so encouraging :D
