(Proverbs 16:6)Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine.
(2 Timothy 4:2) The courage to correct with love
The author shares their experience at a women's meeting at their church and how one sister was absent because she was out evangelizing. The author initially had the impulse to criticize the sister for not attending the meeting, but after reflecting, they realized that both prayer and evangelism are important in their own ways.
