THINK ABOUT IT 8-30-23
“Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamour, and evil speaking, be put away from you, with all malice.” Ephesians 4:31-32
Finding the following in my notes I felt compelled to share the following thoughts with you. “Dispositional sins are fully as injurious to the Christian cause as the more overt acts of wickedness. These sins are as many as the various facets of human nature. Just so there may be no misunderstanding, let us list a few of them: sensitiveness, irritability, churlishness, faultfinding, peevishness, temper, resentfulness, cruelty, uncharitable attitudes; and of course there are many more. These kill the spirit of the church and mar the witness of the church in the community. Many unsaved people have been turned away and embittered by manifestations of ugly dispositional flaws in the lives of the very people who were trying to win them.”
A.W.Tozer said, “Unsaintly saints are the tragedy of Christianity!” We ought to listen to those wise words!
Consider the contrast between the above and what is seen in a Spirit filled Christian.“But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness temperance—–.” Gal. 5:22-23. That’s a difference that makes a difference. Think about it!- HDS
