So, how do we respond to Christians that are "weaker"? These are the Christians that act so immature, disrespect God, sometimes take Jesus as a joke.. disrupt Bible study, text during worship.. you know..
We can get mad. But, that is not what God tells us to do.
Admittedly, some of these Christians are "weaker" -- their faith is still immature - yet, these are our brothers and sisters and how do we respond?
We try to build them up, encourage them, help them get stronger. For our sake? No.
For their sake - so that they may experience the joy and hope that comes from knowing and walking with Him.
verse 13 May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.
if i do think about it, if our friend is texting in service or doesnt take anything seriously, we dont encouarge them to do better. instead we do negative things and nothing to help them..
ReplyDeletethey are our bro's and sis' in christ so we should help them and praise in joy with the help of the trinity :)
