Series: Jesus’ Half Brother- James [#8]
GET ALONG
Introduction:
We live in a time where the enemy is working overtime to cause Christians to not get along with one another. James was dealing with the same issue- Getting along. Here are a few questions that we should ask ourselves.
1. Why can’t we just get along?
Why do Christian people fight with one another?
* They want their way. They are being spoiled brats.
* They want something that God will not give them.
* They forget Who they belong to.
2. How can we get along?
In order for us to get along we must let God work His will in our lives. How do we do that?
* Resist the Devil- Tell him no; and draw near to God- Tell Him yes.
* Get serious about who you are going to serve. As Joshua said, “Choose this day who you are going to serve”.
* Humble yourself before God, pray, seek God, and turn from your sinfulness.
3. When are we going to get along?
I would like for the answer to be, “We are going to start right now”; but you can’t just snap your fingers, and everything is o.k. You must decide for yourself if you are willing to do your part.
Here is your part:
* Don’t worry about what others are doing. Focus on you. The only person that you can change is yourself.
* Remember who and what you hurt when you don’t mind your own business. It’s God’s Word and God that takes a
beating when we treat each other harshly.
* Remember who is in charge. This is God’s Church, we are part of God’s family, and we belong to God.
