Surely that wasn’t said of our group. Non-the-less, I make any adjustments necessary so that my manner and character doesn’t discredit my works for the kingdom. What I have learned, and I pray with all our hearts for others to see, is this:
No matter the status of life you have achieved, remain humble as a child before the King. This will keep your works from being lost in the end. Continue to consider becoming just like him. The same loving way you were when you began, must continue in you so that your works before him in the latter days will stand.
1 Cor. 9:27
But I keep under my body, and bring it into subjection: lest that by any means, when I have preached to others, I myself should be a castaway.
