It is easy to tell someone else how to grow a good garden until you have one then it is another story...easy to preach about the saints kids until your kids do the same thing....easy to preach against christmas until you take a church that pays good tithes and celebrates christmas.....lol...and on and on....many people do not really believe what they say they do....watch how they change when they change pastures....
The best thing is try to be a CHRISTIAN.....I Cor 13....is the rule we will be judged by along with the rest of the Bible.... |
I agree, Mother A...
Hear this from The Living Bible translation...
1 Cor 13:4-7
4 Love is very patient and kind, never jealous or envious, never boastful or proud,
5 never haughty or selfish or rude. Love does not demand its own way. It is not irritable or touchy. It does not hold grudges and will hardly even notice when others do it wrong.
6 It is never glad about injustice, but rejoices whenever truth wins out.
7 If you love someone, you will be loyal to him no matter what the cost. You will always believe in him, always expect the best of him, and always stand your ground in defending him. TLB
Even if someone's view of the NB differs from our own, love should reign supreme.
As far as I can tell, the UNITED Pentecostal Church was formed DESPITE differing views of the NB. It was their love for the brethren which prevailed.
"...admonishing all BRETHREN that they shall not contend for their different views to the disunity of the Body."
The mistake today, as I see it from my house, is their lack of viewing those with differing views as being part of the Body.
It's more than sad...it's tragic!
