Rescue Operations

Christians are to exercise patient mercy with the foolish who fall for false teachers and soil themselves with the filth of sin in which the fools have indulged themselves. Not all discipleship "projects" turn out to be pretty trophies of grace. Some are mere brands plucked from the fire. Mercy is a worthy goal. But always conduct yourself in a degree of fear and make sure you maintain a holy hatred of sin's consequences lest you also be tempted.
