Many start, but do not finish. Many once ran well, but now have allowed that which is contrary to scripture to run their lives. The scriptures bear this out in Galatians chapter three. "O foolish Galatians, who hath bewitched you, that ye should not obey the truth, " Galatians 3:1 "Are ye so foolish? having begun in the Spirit, are ye n ow made perfect by the flesh?" Galatians 3:3 The Lord is calling the roll. Are you ready? Revelations 16:15 "Behold, I come as a thief.

Seems like more and more I hear of Saints wanting to or actually going to movies, dances, even drinking (just a little they say). And then there are the children of the Saints. The young people seem more interested in the world than the work of the Lord or just the Lord Himself. There is too much back biting, lying, and sin going on.
