Although we should not compromise the gospel of salvation: "That Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, was buried and rose again, according to the Scriptures," there are certain minor issues that can cause disunity and disagreement between believers. Sadly, there are certain secondary matters which can fracture relationships in the Body of Christ, and this should not be. There are those that love the Lord Jesus with all their heart, but due to traditional influences, denominational leanings, legalistic instruction, exclusive practices, or the lies of the enemy, have been blinded to the liberty they have in the gospel. We are called to accept those who are weak in faith or whose spiritual maturity is lacking. We are encouraged to Be Kind Towards One Another and tenderhearted, not to seeking to criticize their developed biases or pass judgement on certain opinions or practices they may hold dear which can too often lead to disunity and a rupturing of Christ's Body. Let us receive our fellow brothers and sisters in Christ in godly grace, in truth and in love. Let us flee from the influences of tradition, denomination, legalism, and exclusivity, and grow in grace and in a knowledge of Jesus Christ, knowing that we are all members of the same Body whose Head is Christ Jesus our Lord. Accept other believers who are weak in faith, and don’t argue with them about what they think is right or wrong. Our United Prayer:
Heavenly Father, forgive us for the times when we have not acted in godly love towards our fellow brothers and sisters in Christ who may be weaker in the faith than we, and who may hold to some practices and biases from which we have been set free. Keep us from developing a critical spirit toward other members of Your Body. Help us not to do anything from selfish ambitions, conceit or In humility of heart, may we count others more significant than ourselves. This we ask in Jesus' name, AMEN. |
Prayer
We are a growing group of people praying daily for and with others. We were led to start an online ministry to deliver what is needed more now than ever, a place where you can go to easily to submit a prayer request or requests involving others to pray for your needs. The Power of Prayer. Matthew 18:20- For where two or more come together in my name, there I am among them. You are never alone in prayer. The Power Of Numbers Praying.
We ask you to pray for this ministry, for its success in helping others in need of prayer. Archives
