A few months ago, I heard a pastor who said over the pulpit that he would be inviting another minister to minister at the church. Apparently this minister is trying to get back to ministry, he could be out of action for a period of time for reasons we are not aware of. I believe he must have gone through some form of counselling and restoration process. What the pastor has done is that he has modeled to the people under his care on the importance of acceptance and restoring a person to serve again. For all you know, this minister may still be shunned by others around him. It pains my heart to hear or see Christians who involved themselves in loose talk and gossip with a judgmental attitude. A brother or sister who has fallen away for one reason or another desperately needs love, concern, understanding and oftentimes a simple listening ear. If there is anything we can do for them; that very thing is to pray and intercede for them. May the Lord help us to love them back to His kingdom.
