There is no place for romanticized, unrealistic imagination, or celebrity, or isolation, we have a real life to live, a real gospel to proclaim, a real church to serve, and a real need for one another. 

So, as we look at these brethren, and what Scripture tells us about them, I want you to consider yourself, and your role in the body. If Paul were familiar with you, and were to write your name at the end of a letter to the church, what would He say? Would you be among the faithful? Would you be listed among the fervent? Or would you be among the false and idle brothers?
