The sheep fold provides safety from the enemy and shelter while they are under the supervision of the Shepherd. I agree that some churches have fences to keep out the sinners and the unlovely with their rules and regulations that are man made. Others invite all to become members, without giving them proper instruction on how to receive Jesus. Jesus said come unto me all who are burdened and heave laden and I will give you rest. He ate with sinners, but He also preached the gospel and urged them to leave their sinful life and follow Him. Sinners need to feel welcome in our churches, and encouraged to attend Bible study class.a joyful noisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08712092116466408490noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36048814.post-75911027851300875142011-08-09T06:46:40.814-07:002011-08-09T06:46:40.814-07:00Yeah, I wasn't sure where I was going when I f...Yeah, I wasn't sure where I was going when I first sat down at the keyboard.
