Demus's Love for the World
John Pepper: In love with this present world, he found ministry with Paul impossible and he left it. There is a love for the world that produces either the abandonment of ministry or the making of ministry so worldly it's useless. So if a minister starts to become worldly, he's got two choices. Leave the ministry or make the ministry worldly. Then you can survive. Demus couldn't. Why? Paul. It wasn't going to happen on Paul's team. He didn't leave out of love for Jesus but out ofLove for the world. That's why everybody leaves. More people leave Christ and more people leave church than anything else.
