I Want more Indulgent Believers!

Indulgent.

“an inability to resist the gratification of whims and desires”

“a disposition to yield to the wishes of someone”

“the act of indulging or gratifying a desire”

As a pastor and undershepherd of one of God’s local churches, I WANT MORE INDULGENT BELIEVERS IN MY CHURCH!!

Are you paying attention now?  Then…consider this…

“You know as a church that I have not hesitated to INDULGE large ideas of what we might do for God, and we have accomplished all that we purposed.  I have sought God’s aid, assistance, and help in all my many undertakings.  Though I cannot tell here the story of my private life in God’s work, yet if it were written, it would be a standing proof that there is a God who answers prayer.”  — Spurgeon, The Golden Key of Prayer

^”So Jesus answered and said to them, ‘Assuredly, I say to you, if you have faith and do not doubt, you will not only do what was done to the fig tree, but also if you say to this mountain, ‘Be removed and be cast into the sea,’ it will be done. ^ And whatever things you ask in prayer, believing, you will receive.”                                                                                                                        — Matt. 21:21-22

May God give us more indulgent believers.

P.S.  What happens when a professed believer abandons the church?  See what God’s Word has to say.
