2 John 1:11 (KJV) Whom Do We Support?

2 John 1:11 (KJV)
For he that biddeth him God speed is partaker of his evil deeds.

Paul taught us that, when we support a preacher’s ministry, we become part of that ministry and share in its fruits. 

Philippians 4:16-17
For even in Thessalonica ye sent once and again unto my necessity.
Not because I desire a gift: but I desire fruit that may abound to your account.

This passage indicates that the opposite is equally true; when we encourage, even in something as small as sending them on their way with our best wishes; in some way the heretic, the divider, the one who walks contrary to what the Bible teaches (especially in regard to Jesus) we becomes a partaker (participant) in their evil deed. 

As some Christians put too little stock in the former, so too so many with the latter. 

• More support should be given to the faithful man of God
• Much less encouragement should be given to the one who has departed from our ranks.
