Bible Note: Shalom 00123, You're still pretty vague because the list you gave me is speaking more of a state of being, rather than a list of commands to do or not do. I, for one, will not take it upon myself to try and see into someone else's inner being - that job belongs to the Holy Spirit. We are told that by "their" fruit we will know our brethren. If you are not seeing good fruit among the people in your church then I would suggest that you quit whining and start praying - it only takes one man to tear things down or build them up. Pray that the Spirit of conviction would move among your brethren beginning with you, and start things rolling. Do you do all those things you listed? In your few posts I haven't seen much poorness in spirit (I see haughtiness), nor meekness (I see harshness), you're not mourning (you're griping), nor making peace (but division). There is nothing wrong with seeing problems in a situation, but it is wrong to just fuss about it and not offer any solutions. What do you suggest the church should do to correct this? Like BradK says, "Speaking in love" be blessed |
