Here we have the great Apostle Paul , instructing the Christian church in Galatia to restore those who have fallen in a trespass , and consider yourself lest you be tempted ,and in doing so you will be showing yourself spiritual.
It's been said that the Christian army is the only army in the world who buries the wounded ,and what an indictment again'st The Lord's church.
So very often when believers get off track and get their eyes off of Christ they stumble and fall.
How many reach out a hand of hope and healing and restoration and reconciliation to the fallen ?
Alot of times folks sneer and said well I knew they never had anything anyways ,I knew they weren't right ,yeah they never had the Holy Ghost begin with , I knew they were half -backsliden yeah off with their heads I knew they wouldn't ever make it.
How many wounded folks has the church buried and left for dead ,and didn't even bother to pour in wine and oil and nourish them back to spiritual health?
Have we cried off with their heads and dug a grave and threw the wounded in and let them die ?
Or have we proven ourselves spiritual and have tried to restore those who have been taken in a trespass ?

Bro, it's not just UPC, as you know... IT's humanity... it's independent, amf, aci, aljc, upc, paw, cooljc..... and from experience in my life, it's been the local upc pastor, his wife, and church who have shown the true love of God to me and my family....and they don't keep the same standards and beliefs that we do. But they have shown love......!!!! and helped many heal!!!
