8-15-2021 Attitude is Everything

Bishop Rodgers teaches from Philippians 2:5 on "Attitude." Disunity is the result of minds that are not in sync with Christ and His church. Stress is that place where my expectation and reality conflict. The end goal for every believer should be spiritual maturity. The means we realize our only problem involves me and Christ (not others). Attitude is defined as a "manner of thinking, feeling, or behaving that reflects our state of mind or disposition." Psychologists define attitude as "a learned tendency to evaluate things in a certain way. A settled way of thinking or feeling about someone or something." Often our attitudes are a result of our experiences or upbringing. Christ's attitude was humble. He was willing to give up His rights in order to obey God and serve people. This should be the attitude of every believer. The servant's attitude means we serve out of love for God and for others, not out of guilt or fear. We are at war and we must fight to align our thoughts and attitude with Christ. This is a powerful message. We pray as you listen to this message, the Holy Spirit will reveal your attitude and find any area that isn't align with Christ. Have a safe and bless week.
