Heavenly Father, the friendship and fellowship together of fellow servants in the Lord, is a great refreshment under the sufferings and difficulties in the way. It adds much to the beauty and strength of the Gospel ministry when Christ’s servants are loving and condescending towards one another. Father God, we read where Joshua placed a stone under the oak tree to serve as a witness against anyone who heard Your words spoken through godly leaders and yet chose to deny You. The stone under the oak tree in Schechem was witness to those who remained true or those who denied the faith. The stone was unchanging from day to day, year to year just as our promises should be. It was an inanimate witness unable to speak, but today we have living witnesses within our family, community, and church that can either speak up that we are people of truth or deny our claims. Our words will be demonstrated in our attitudes and actions and we will impact these eye witnesses in regard to their eternal future. No matter the consequence in this life, we never want to deny You in what we say or do. In Jesus name. Amen.

Brother Jim as I was praying along with this prayer. My Spirit focus on that stone. In todays True Church, that True Stone is Jesus Christ. The ones that Follow and Obey Him. That Stone is where the True Church is build on. But that Stone, the ones who willfully reject Him. That Stone will crush them, if they do not Repent to the Lord.

Condescending? That word really threw me off in the second sentence. Did you intend to write that word, or am I just missing the point?
