>>> Fruit inspectors needed.

Hmmm, yes. But let any who may assume the role be mindful that our sister has come from a great depth and may not yet have attained to the fullness of the stature of Christ. There is no shame in this, only that further growth is needed. Therefore, render judgement tempered with mercy and, in humility, forbear in the knowledge that, With the measure by which you judge you also shall be judged.

IF, and this will be my personal assumption, Mrs. Rice has truly accepted her redemption purchased in Christ's blood, then we have a new baby sister for whom we must be thankful to God, that He has extended His grace to her. Let us, therefore, bear with the occasional folly of spiritual youth and take every necessary occasion to patiently instruct rather than harshly condemn. Call to mind Christ, himself, that his patience with the disciples was not exhausted, even though they were with him continually for three years, even though, after all of that time spent in his personal presence, they still did not have a good grasp of either his person or his work.
