“The word of the Lord came to me: “Son of man, prophesy against the shepherds of Israel; prophesy, and say to them, even to the shepherds, Thus says the Lord God: Ah, shepherds of Israel who have been feeding yourselves! Should not shepherds feed the sheep? You eat the fat, you clothe yourselves with the wool, you slaughter the fat ones, but you do not feed the sheep. The weak you have not strengthened, the sick you have not healed, the injured you have not bound up, the strayed you have not brought back, the lost you have not sought, and with force and harshness you have ruled them.”
Ezekiel 34:1-4 ESV

All,
This stands out because the Lord says, “Should not shepherds feed the sheep? You eat the fat, you clothe yourselves with the wool, you slaughter the fat ones, but you do not feed the sheep.” Are you a sheep or a shepherd? Are there people in your life that God wants you to help? Are there people helping you know Christ? In 300 years, what will matter that you do today? Please pray that we and our friends see what God wants us to see today. Please pray for John and Anthony’s group as it’s forming at Dunwoody UMC.
