Leaders work must be blessing not burden

Now we ask you, brothers, to respect those who work hard among you, who are over you in the Lord and who admonish you. — 1 Thessalonians 5:12

What are you doing to bless the lives of your spiritual leaders? Do you pray daily for them? Do you send them notes of encouragement? Do you thank them for their loving attention? Do you respond to their rebukes and take heart in their affirmations? Leaders don't need to be followed blindly, but often they get no support for their efforts. Let's make their work a blessing and not a burden! (Hebrews 13:17)

. Death of the Sinner

Romans 2:12

All who sin apart from the law will also perish apart from the law, and all who sin under the law will be judged by the law.

2 Peter 2:12-15

But these people blaspheme in matters they do not understand. They are like unreasoning animals, creatures of instinct, born only to be caught and destroyed, and like animals they too will perish. 

    They will be paid back with harm for the harm they have done. Their idea of pleasure is to carouse in broad daylight.  They are blots and blemishes, reveling in their pleasures while they feast with you.    With eyes full of adultery, they never stop sinning; they seduce  the unstable;  they are experts in greed —an accursed brood!    They have left the straight way and wandered off to follow the way of Balaam  son of Bezer, who loved the wages of wickedness.

He is mine! He is mine!

Though it is wonderful, yet it is true,

That He is mine!

Depths of that love so true

No tongue can tell!

God watcheth over you—

All is well!
