Scripture

Romans 14

1 Accept other believers who are weak in faith, and don’t argue with them about what they think is right or wrong.

Observation

Do you get tired and weary of the constant arguing that goes on in our Southern Baptist Convention? People always wanting to argue and tell other people what they think is right or wrong. It never ends. Most of what they want to argue about is stuff that is not all that important in light of eternity. Give me a break. Leave folks alone!

Paul says that we should accept people and not argue with them over the little stuff. If they are weak in the faith leave them alone. Human nature or our fallen sinful nature always wants to nit pick, always wants to judge, tends to make us look down on others but that is not how God’s Holy Spirit operates in our lives.

“But when the Holy Spirit controls our lives, he will produce this kind of fruit in us: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness,” Galatians 5:22

Application

I will concentrate on my shortcomings today and not worry about everybody else’s!

Prayer

Heavenly Father, help me not to judge others today. Help me to accept other believers even if they don’t agree with me on everything. Give me a servant’s heart.
