Spiritual or secular?

Good morning everyone!! Yes, yes, another great to praise God and thank Jesus for our salvation. God is good all the time, all the time God is good.

Take time to stop and look around. What is going on? Texas State Board of Education is arguing the issue of evolution vs creation; a lady of "nobility" is divorcing her husband (who is 30 years older) and suing for 99 million instead of taking the 36 million from her post-nup; we go to courts suing each other. Is this in God's plan?

1 Corinthians 6:1-4 "When one of you has a dispute with another believer, how dare you file a lawsuit and ask a secular court to decide the matter instead of taking it to other believers! Don't you realize that someday we believers will judge the world? And since you are going to judge the world, can't you decide even these little things among yourselves? Don't you realize that we will judge angels? So you should surely be able to resolve ordinary disputes in this life."

Paul is teaching us we, the congregation, should handle smaller problems between believers. Society has set up a legal system in which disagreements can be resolved in courts. But Paul declares that Christians should not have to go to a secular court to resolve their differences.

As Christians, we have the Holy Spirit and the mind of Christ, so why should we turn to those who lack God's wisdom? Because of all that we have been given as believers, and because of the authority that we will have in the future to judge the world and the angels, we should be able to deal with disputes among ourselves.

How do you handle issues? Spiritually or secular? Where do we turn? Did you know that only 52% of "believers" really believe Christ actually was risen from the dead, that there was a resurrection. Is this scary? Thank you for reading with me today. Love you all.

In Christ's Love and Grace
