“We deal so plainly and so closely with you, we are so instant in exhorting, reproving, warning, and watching over you, because we must give an account of how we discharge our duty towards you”
(Instructions About Heartwork , 7)
May our ministries also be shaped by this crucial truth.

I am finishing up preaching through James. In preparing this week for chapter 5.13-18, I was overwhelmed by the responsibility placed on us as elders to respond to the sick with prayers of faith. This faith being reflective of our relationship and faith in God not a conviction about a particular outcome. Our calling and duty never ceases to terrify me.
I think we only understand this calling we you can say your last sentence, Perry. Well put.
