Galatians 5:7-13
7You were running a good race. Who cut in on you and kept you from obeying the truth? 8That kind of persuasion does not come from the one who calls you. 9"A little yeast works through the whole batch of dough." 10I am confident in the Lord that you will take no other view. The one who is throwing you into confusion will pay the penalty, whoever he may be. 11Brothers, if I am still preaching circumcision, why am I still being persecuted? In that case the offense of the cross has been abolished. 12As for those agitators, I wish they would go the whole way and emasculate themselves!
13You, my brothers, were called to be free. But do not use your freedom to indulge the sinful nature; rather, serve one another in love. 14The entire law is summed up in a single command: "Love your neighbor as yourself." 15If you keep on biting and devouring each other, watch out or you will be destroyed by each other.
Life is a dance and we choose our partner.…. If we Dance with agitators then we will get our toes stepped on. Here are some of the painful truths of dancing with the agitators.
- Confusion
- Arguments & Bickering
- Destroying Others
- Destroying Self ... The penalty
- Positive Worship & Praise
Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in the heavenly realms with every spiritual blessing in Christ.
- Encouraging Relationships
Romans 15:7
Accept one another, then, just as Christ accepted you, in order to bring praise to God.
- Utilization of Gifts and skills
Follow the way of love and eagerly desire spiritual gifts
- Serve Joyfully
filled with the fruit of righteousness that comes through Jesus Christ—to the glory and praise of God.
We are called to be free. We are enjoined to use our freedom to serve one another in love. Life is a dance and I choose who my dancing partner is. It will determine the steps of my dance.
I hope you dance ...... dance and dance well.
