I talked with a friend from a church we used to attend some years ago. She told me the sad news that church members are squabbling over doctrinal issues ... in church!
Fighting in Church?
I just don't get it. Christ said people would recognize Christians by their love for one another. So how can two groups within the church fight over anything?!
To me it doesn't matter how right your doctrine is, if you use force, coercion, intimidation, etc. to convince others of your "right" and "correct" position... YOU'RE STILL WRONG!!!
Parents' Greatest Gift
Which brings me to this point: Parents, the greatest gift you can give your children, is a loving home in which to grow up in. Turn your pride over to Christ and learn what unconditional love is - in your home, first. Then practise Christian love outside the home at church, at work, in the grocery store parking lot, etc. Who ever said following Christ's example was going to be easy?
If people are fighting in church, what are they doing in their own homes, behind closed doors, when their wills are crossed??? Poor kids!
