Ezekiel 33:5-6

Baptist
SCRIPTURE

"He heard the sound of the trumpet, and took not warning; his blood shall be upon him; whereas if he had taken warning, he would have delivered his soul. But if the watchman see the sword come, and blow not the trumpet, and the people be not warned, and the sword come, and take any person from among them; he is taken away in his iniquity, but his blood will I require at the watchman`s hand." — Ezekiel 33:5-6 (ASV)

This is a very solemn truth. It not only concerns me and the many ministers of Christ who are here, but it is for all of you who know the Lord, for you also are set as watchmen to your families, to your neighbors, to the class that you teach, or that you should teach, in the Sunday school. May God grant that we may, each one of us, be delivered from other people's sins, for we may become partakers with them in their iniquity unless we bear our testimony against them and give them warning of the consequences of their evildoing!
