Galatians 6

January 9, 2009 in Prayer/Faith with 2 Comments

Amen.

1 Brothers, if someone is caught in a sin, you who are spiritual should restore him gently. But watch yourself, or you also may be tempted. 2 Carry each other’s burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ. 3 If anyone thinks he is something when he is nothing, he deceives himself. 4 Each one should test his own actions. Then he can take pride in himself, without comparing himself to somebody else, 5 for each one should carry his own load.

6 Anyone who receives instruction in the word must share all good things with his instructor.

7 Do not be deceived: God cannot be mocked. A man reaps what he sows. 8 The one who sows to please his sinful nature, from that nature will reap destruction; the one who sows to please the Spirit, from the Spirit will reap eternal life. 9 Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up. 10 Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all people, especially to those who belong to the family of believers.

    Hey man…been a while, eh?

    I read your blog about “The Point” and have to say that yes, I feel like the church has its eyes fixed on the wrong things. Comfort, security, routine, and the ever-present “bigger and better” mindset seem to pervade the minds of most “suburbanite” Christians instead of service, love, and devotion. This is why I have such a difficult time going to a lot of churches around me.

    My idea of the “perfect Church” looks more like a community of people serving, living, loving, learning, and sharpening than it does a place people go once a week to look pretty and smile a lot. I don't know…just my thoughts. What do you think?
