"..Oh, so many sick ones, hurt ones, and young ones need to be
taken care of! How can we come together and praise the Lord 
for our oneness if we are not willing to shepherd the saints? 
Whenever I hear this kind of praise, I wonder about the weak ones
and the young ones and about those who do not come to the meetings. 
I wonder who is taking care of them. There is no need to tell me
how much oneness you have. If you go to the weaker ones and
shepherd them, then your oneness is genuine and practical..."

Admonishing the Disorderly Ones
------------------------------
"First Thessalonians 5:14 says, "We entreat you, brothers, admonish the disorderly,

Consoling the Little-Souled
------------------------------
"First Thessalinians 5:14 also speaks of the fainthearted or little-souled (Gk.)... What will

many more like them..."
