The importance of follow-up.
Dear Friends,
They way some churches treat new converts has been justly criticized. The just “dip them and drop them”! This is not what God has called for as today’s devotional explains. As you read it ask yourself, “What new Christian am I trying to help?” God bless you.
Because of Calvary,
John Janney
John 21:15
“The early period of Christian faith, like the infancy of life, is crowded with dangers. Literally, newborn life is so precarious that it is a wonder that any infant survives; and infant spiritual life is so full of weaknesses and diseases that none would survive were it not for Almighty grace. Hence the need of the special precept: ‘Feed my lambs.’ It is our bounden duty to look well after beginners in the ways of God.” [Charles Haddon Spurgeon, The Metropolitan Tabernacle Pulpit XXXVII, (London: Passmore and Alabaster, 1891), p. 74-75]
