107-Festering wounds (Matthew 5:23-24) || The Evening Mindset - Christian Bible Meditation and Bedtime Prayers

Send Carey a note (sorry, replies are not possible at this time)TONIGHT’S SCRIPTURE:Matthew 5:23–24[23] So if you are offering your gift at the altar and there remember that your brother has something against you, [24] leave your gift there before the altar and go. First be reconciled to your brother, and then come and offer your gift. (ESV)SUMMARYWe read Jesus’ words in Matthew 5:23–24 and sit with the uncomfortable order he gives: reconcile first, then bring your gift. We connect the altar to modern giving and ask God for courage to address relational wounds before they fester.• Matthew’s image of a gift at the altar as an act of worship through sacrifice• A modern translation of the passage through tithes, gifts, and generous giving• Stopping mid-worship when we remember someone has something against us• Why unresolved relational wounds grow worse and affect everyone around us• Jesus’ call to unity and harmony among his people• The hard work of naming the elephant in the room• A closing prayer for the Holy Spirit’s power to help us obey and make things rightSupport the Evening Mindset: https://MorningMindsetMedia.com/EMSupportJoin over 16,000 daily listeners who enjoy the podcast that started it all… “The Morning Mindset”: https://MorningMindsetMedia.com/Morning-Mindset
