Grace for your spirit July 12, 2010

Grace for your spirit
For if a man comes into your assembly with a gold ring and dressed infine clothes, and there also comes in a poor man in dirty clothes, and you pay special attention to the one who is wearing the fine clothes, and say, "You sit here in a good place, and you say to the poor man, "You stand over there, or sit down by my footstool,"have you not made distinctions among yourselves, and become judgeswith evil motives? James 2:2-4

Many churches adopt a "We Care Program." The assumption is that the church cares about people, all people. As people are drawn to such a program, too often they find out that the church cares, but only about their image. They care about people who can give money to build their buildings, and give the church a good image of smart, intelligent, people. Those kinds of motives kill the spirit of the needy and kill the church too. This kind of partiality is sinful and will never build a church.

The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit
Philippians 4:23
