Do It For The Glory Of God

 Glance through many Christian social media sites and you often discover a critical spirit surfacing and a judgmental attitude being fostered, and yet Christians are to be urging brothers and sisters in Christ, to live together in godly harmony.
 As Christians living in the non- essential Christian doctrine, we need to be gracious, uncritical, and living together in godly harmony. There should be no arguments on what to eat or what to drink, what day to worship or what ordinances to follow,  whether we live or die, eat or speak, we are to Do It For The Glory Of God.
 The wonderful thing about the Christian life in this Church dispensation is that in those non-essential doctrines, we are given the grace to follow our own consciences, knowing that each one will give an account of their own lives to the Lord Himself.
 The liberty of this age of grace is that we have not been placed under any required law, we are living under grace. Because we are in Christ, we have been set free from the law of sin and death, when the Son set us free we are free indeed.
 Let us therefore make every effort to do what leads to peace and to mutual edification. Let us aim for harmony in the Church and try to build each other up in our most holy faith. Let us follow after the things which make for peace so that we may edify one another, and let us pursue what promotes a godlike tranquility in the Body of Christ and build up one another in godly grace.
 In essential doctrine, may there be unity. In non-essential doctrine, may we demonstrate tolerance. In all doctrine, may we be those that show Christ's love.
Let us therefore make every effort to do what leads to peace and to mutual edification.

Our United Prayer:
​Heavenly Father, forgive us for the times when we have allowed a critical spirit to interfere with godly harmony in the Body of Christ. Give us discernment to know when to stand for the truth of the gospel of grace and when to refrain from ungodly criticism of others, and help us in all our dealings with our brothers and sisters in Christ, to demonstrate Your love. In Jesus' name we pray, AMEN.
