Galatians 5: 26 Let us not become conceited, provoking and envying each other.
Paul has given us a list of acts of the flesh, guaranteed to keep us out of heaven. Then he lists the fruits of the spirit. He says Christians have conquered the flesh and should follow the Spirit.
I'm disturbed by posts a young friend has shared on Facebook attacking churches. They say how off track Christians are today, as opposed to the early churches. No problems so far, but I find this spiritual one upmanship to be self-righteous and disturbing. Shouldn't Christians try to find common ground? Can't we accept that everyone has a different sort of relationship with God?
Prayer: Lord, guide Your followers to love and understanding. Lead us away from the tendency to judge others. Help us to see when our righteousness turns into self-righteous indignation. Correct our attitudes so that we may best serve You.
Amen
