"Brothers, I could not address you as spiritual but as worldly- mere infants in Christ. I gave you milk, not solid food, for you were not yet ready for it. Indeed, you are still not ready. You are still worldly. For since there is jealousy and quarreling among you, are you not worldly? Are you not acting like mere men?
These verses made me think of how Christians try to act so pious and how week after week they sit and listen to what is being sung and preached, but then go home and gossip or quarrel.
They put themselves on pedestals and then blame everyone else for the divisions within the body/church.
They are so busy looking at one another and their shortcomings and ignore their own. (Matthew 7:3)
They need to be following Christ and Christ alone. They are not to be petty and arguing over non sequential things. (Romans 14:1-8)
We Christians have been bought by a price with the blood of Jesus. No one is better then another and we must treat one another with compassion and love.
Prayer:
Father, I pray for the body of Christ and myself that we let go of all things that tend to bring discord and lack of harmony. Teach us to continually walk in your truths.
In Christ I pray,
Amen
