Bearing with Failings

Subscribe ▼ Show Notes The way we interface with others as we live this life is important for our enjoyment and function. Scripture gives us instructions on how we are to live in community. And yet it grieves us when professing Christians hurt us. Christian Community How are we to live humbly in Christian community? What does that look like as we live this life on this fallen earth? What does it mean to love one another the way Scripture commands? We address the answers to these important questions in today’s episode of Relentless Truth. The cruelty that I see displayed among Christians has no place in Christian community. In this episode, we discuss living humbly in Christian community. If we are working toward esteeming the needs of others ahead of our own, we aren’t likely to engage in cruelty or selfish pursuits. Humble Living Deferring to the other person is not intuitive. The notion that the strong should bear with the weak is sadly foreign to many of us. We tend to criticize others for their failings; however, Paul teaches us that we should defer to them – that we should avoid causing them to stumble. I’m convinced that these are community-changing truths that will revolutionize the way we function. We are to watch out for those who bring errant doctrine into the church. These challenges often come from within the church. We talk about growing in discernment as we proclaim truth in this weighty episode. Thank you for listening to Relentless Truth.
