INFINITE SUPPLY
Today's Message from Chip Brogden
“Now may
the God of patience and comfort grant you to be like-minded toward one
another, according to Christ Jesus, that you may with one mind and one
mouth glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. Therefore
receive one another, just as Christ also received us, to the glory of
God” (Rom. 15:5-7).
Christians have a tendency to judge one
another over things that seem really important but usually turn out to
be non-essential and inconsequential.
There are many occasions
where we expect others to be exact duplicates of our own selves,
mirroring precisely our belief, faith, practice, opinion, custom, and
interpretation before we will consider any kind of relationship with
them. How much easier our lives would be if would look for areas of
agreement, and grant leniency to others in differences of opinion!
Like-mindedness,
according to Scripture, is not necessarily having the same opinion
about everything. When we receive one another as brothers and sisters in
Christ, love compels us to overlook some of the things we think we see
in others, just as they are compelled to overlook our own weaknesses.
Scripture says we are to be like-minded “according to Christ Jesus.” If
we are in agreement concerning His Son, agreement on everything else is
nice, but not a necessity.
