"My brothers, if anyone among you wanders from the truth and someone brings him back, let him know that whoever brings back a sinner from his wandering will save his soul from death and will cover a multitude of sins." - James 5:19-20
Today, I was looking through some of my yearbooks from high-school. It brought back some memories of friends who helped me keep the Christian faith as I walked through the pleasantries and difficulties of high-school. As I now look into these peoples lives who once followed the faith, many of them have fallen away.
So let's bring these people back. Many times, we like to help people accept Jesus but then we won't help them follow Jesus. We need to remain in these peoples lives so that when they fall, there is someone there to help them get back up.
We all know these people who used to be Christians and (often times) because of a lack of Christian support behind them, they gave up on Christ all-together. Let's do our part and lift one-another up today and every day.
Here are some ways to do this.
1. Schedule to meet someone for coffee who is struggling in their faith and take that time to listen to them and encourage them.
2. Be friendly. You would be amazed how many people you cross every day that you make or break their day. Decide to make it and invest time in everyone.
3. Listen. Listening is important because it shows people that you care. Listen to someone today and forget about your own agenda.
