They Shoot Horses, Don’t They
When a horse breaks a leg, often the remedy is a bullet to the head.
When an army is retreating quickly from a barbaric enemy sometimes they feel the necessity to shoot the wounded.
Sadly history is littered with people who have suffered when Churches have lost sight of our mission. Jesus came to seek and save the lost. Yet when Christians lose their way we tend to “cut them off”. Our real goal is restoration and reconciliation, by assisting people to find their way back into close fellowship with God and His people.
We need to invest our energies into love and care not blame and gossip. We must remember that each of us depends on God’s grace and forgiveness.
