Dissension in the Body? What Should You Do?
Sent in by T. H. edited by sdc
WHEN there is a lot of complaining going on, whining about this or that, and just "feel sorry for me" postings... (in ministry groups) it is like a cancer growing inside. Negativity is contagious, and if it is not addressed it will pull the entire body down. Do not apologize for being blunt to someone about his/her "negativity"... Point out the "sin" by going directly to the Word of God. Do NOT be "unkind". .. We are one body in Christ... we all are different "limbs" but we make up one body.
Do STAND firm and HOLD down this "battle field" that Christ won VICTORY over. Does truth really hurt this bad? Self pity is NOT of God! It is a weapon from the evil one... Don't allow that weapon from the evil one to take control of lives. What does scripture say if we go to one and point out the error in which they are choosing to live? Take it to the body... and if it continues to cut off from them until they truly repent of their error to Father. That is NOT judging them, just doing what the Word of God says to do.
How are we to grow together in Christ if we live in the flesh, if we allow Satan to win?
