+> [!bible]- James 5:19-20
+> ![[Jas 5#19..20]]
+
+> Not all who wonder is lost
+
+Not bible but Lord of the Rings, James here says something similar.
+
+We all have experienced times in our lives were we have strayed from Christ.
+
+Who is James talking to?
+- Poeple of the faith 
+	- James is speaking of a second death
+- People in the church and who are not saved?
+
+## The Reality
+
+Everyone wonders, but
+
+![[Heb 2#1..1]]
+ 
+![[1John 2#19..19]]
+
+
+You are either a Christ follower or you are not. 
+
+There are people in the church who are not truly saved.
+
+John Piper Quote
+Larry Sanger Faith tweet
+
+![[Matt 7#21..21]]
+
+How do I know if I truly saved?
+	For most when you wonder you have a desire to come back.
+
+James is saying "Go get the wanderer"
+
+The responsibility is one us, the believers in the church.
+
+This means we need to be deeply involved with the body of Christ. How else how would we know.
+
+![[Gal 6#1..1]]
+
+![[Gal 6#10..10]]
+
+If our church fails these passages are pointing to where we failed.
+
+==**We need to ask ourselves who have we gathered with?**== - We have to do better
+
+![[1Pet 4#8..8]]
+
+## The result
+
+![[Jas 5#20..20]]
+
+Paul, so that I may save some. #TODO Find verse
+
+God used the members of the church to keep each other safe.
+
+The whole book of James calls us to be active in the church. 
+	"Be doers of the word" #todo get verse
