Stop quoting scripture in rivalry

[briareos]

This verse really blessed me today

Phillipians 1.15
"Some indeed preach Christ from envy and rivalry..."

Some people preach becuase they are envious of glory and fame and applause and some preach out of rivalry with others, contending with their brothers and sisters for the truth, their truth.

Let us never ever quote a scripture out of rivalry or contention with our brothers and sisters, and never out of envy for fame or glory. Our preaching should be out of goodwill, love, forgiveness, change, reverance for the truth and to bring the kingdom of God....but never rivalry and never envy.

Lets love, accept and forgive each other. Not contend with each other or seek our own fame for how much we know or how well we can preach

May you all be blessed, I love you, accept you, all of you! Let's preach for the kingdom, not our own selfish purposes

Phillipians 2.3
"Do nothing from rivalry or conceit, but in humility count others more significant than yourselves"

v5
"Have this mind amoung yourselves, which is yours in Christ Jesus, who, though he was in the form of God, did not count equality with God a thing to be grasped, but made himself nothing, taking the form of a servant... he humbled himself... to the point of death"

 

[Terene]

Amen brother! May God bless you and all the brethren and equip us with His Word so we share and preach with simplicity and love!
