Romans 15:1-2 ( Build don't destroy )


Romans 15
 1WE WHO are strong [in our convictions and of robust faith] ought to bear with the failings and the frailties and the tender scruples of the weak; [we ought to help carry the doubts and qualms of others] and not to please ourselves.
    2Let each one of us make it a practice to please (make happy) his neighbor for his good and for his true welfare, to edify him [to strengthen him and build him up spiritually].

Too often folks tare folks down to make there self-look well. It is time we stop dragging the weak around town. Stop talking about people. Who you know is weak because they don’t know what you know. Don’t you know soon as you open your mouth and speak wrong of your brother, you are giving the Devil a foothold a tool to use against your brother. We must restore renew those who are weak in spirit. They are tied up. It’s up to us to untangle them. Not tighten what has them bound. To call a person a drunk only makes the individual drink more. Yes I know if the shoe fit wear it. I also know they already have the shoe’s on. They know the bed they are laying in is sinful. But why throw it in there face, and make them feel worsted then they already do. What type of Christian does it make you? Show nuff not a legitimate one. What would Christ do in a situation like this? Build off the good within the person. Tell them that they can change. We all been tangled up before & some of us still is. But how did we get loose? I tell you how by Righteous people believing that we could do it through Christ. Handshakes hugs, smiles and compliments. We must introduce people to Christ. Too many Christians today chase the lost away, instead of welcoming them. How do they by judging the book by its cover get to know the pages of the man 1st. Thou shall not Judge what don’t you get out of the 11th commandment. It’s time to follow Gods perfect instructions. There not written just because there written to make us unshakeable. Apply them to your life. Oh how many souls we can bring to him who offers eternal life. If we just live as the word of God instructs us too. Be obedient children. Follow the holy footsteps of the Lord. That means to walk as he walked. Upon the ground. Not on top of people. Why would people want to be like you, if all you do is talk about people? Remember it’s not about you. You don’t appear until Christ who is your Life return. So represent the body. Stick to your part, be fruitful. We must bear the fruit of the spirit. The fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness gentleness and self-control. These are the quality’s men & women of God must hold. Get your ducks in order. Offer living water not vinegar.
