1 Thou shalt not see the brother's ox or his sheep go astray, and hide thyself from them: thou shalt in any case bring them again unto thy brother.
2 And if thy brother be not nigh unto thee, or if thou know him not, then thou shalt bring it unto thine own house, and it shall be with thee until thy brother seek after it, and thou shalt restore it to him again.
3 In like manner shalt thou do with his ass; and so shalt thou do with his raiment; and with all lost thing of thy brother's, which he hath lost, and thou hast found, shalt thou do likewise: thou mayest not hide thyself.
4 Thou shalt not see thy brother's ass or his ox fall down by the way, and hide thyself from them: thou shalt surely help him to lift them up again.
KJV
What an incredible principle!
I hope as a pastor I am never guilty of helping facilitate the loss of my brother's sheep or ass or ox.....
Or anything else that belongs to him and not me....

Tracie
Absolute Must Read....
I listened to this book on tape while traveling alone on an 10 hour trip. I wept. I cried. I repented. I called Tracie and told her she had to hear this. This book is an abosolute must read for any minister and his wife who started from nothing and are enjoying the blessings of God on their ministry. Francine Rivers touched a chord that those that desire ministry should never forget.

As a member of a congeration, I have often sat and wondered if many Pastors understand these principles?
Just my thought;
