The One Anothers of the Bible: Caring For One Another.

Caring For One Another

“that there should be no schism in the body, but that the members should have the same care for one another.” – 1 Corinthians 12:25

A body that is torn, bruised and sick is an unhappy body. We know that from our own experience. When one part of our body suffers, the whole body reacts.

That is why we take good care of our physical bodies and make every attempt to heal our wounds.

The same holds true for the Church, the Body of Christ. When one member suffers, the entire church suffers. When one member is honored, the entire church glows with satisfaction and joy.

When schism tears believers apart and brings anger, confusion and pain, the entire Body is disturbed.

The solution is that every member cares for one another, without showing preference or ignoring those who hurt, who are difficult and despondent. Happy members make a happy church – and vice versa.
Are their suffering Christians in your fellowship? Take care of them and you will enhance your part of the Body.

Is there someone you can telephone and encourage today? Do it.

Now Here’s A Radical Thought. More on my blog.

Taking One Another To Court

“Now therefore, it is already an utter failure for you that you go to law against one another. Why do you not rather accept wrong? Why do you not rather let yourselves be cheated?” – 1 Corinthians 6:7

Did you know that lawsuits between Christians are not acceptable behavior in God’s sight?

In His opinion, it is tantamount to telling the world that the people of God are incompetent to handle their own affairs, and that their God is unable to resolve their personal and business issues.

What if the matter cannot be resolved the Biblical way? What if the “other Christian party” refuses to listen, co-operate or repent?
Rather than have the world mock God, it is better to accept the loss and be cheated. That’s what the Word says.

The honor of God’s Name is at stake. Woe to Christians who cause the world to stumble and lose confidence in God because of their behavior. It is not a light thing in God’s sight.

This is radical teaching, but it is God’s way.
