In my hand is a bag of oatmeal. I tear open a corner of the package only to learn a bottom corner has already been opened. I carefully fold the bag so nothing will spill.
I begin to sing the chorus of "Hallelujah, Praise Jehovah" and stand up. When I do, I realize I am in my church in Lisbon and they "stand and sing" as I "come forward".
They are not singing in time with each other which is of much concern for me and others near the front. When I arrive at the front, I turn and sing louder and others fall in time wih me as the chorus ends.
If we are not careful, the wholesome Word of Truth will be lost to God's people due to our own negligence and inattentiveness. The church must honor the word and heed its call, repenting of our sins and become one in Christ as we have been commanded.
It is not too late.
