Works of the flesh are evident. We don't have to look very far to find them. It's sad that we waste our time, energy, and resources in the distraction of competition. The enemy will use anything he can to try to hold back God's work, and competition, particularly in Kingdom work, seems to be a handy tool in his belt. Sometimes people look at my husband and I funny when speaking to someone about where a person attends church, especially if they have chosen another over the one we serve at. When we say, "It doesn't matter to me where they go, as long as they go somewhere that the truth of the Gospel is taught. We're all on the same team." people seem to be taken aback. God really has made a point to me about that over the past few years, and has shown me that often competition in things like this result from our own insecurities. If another person joins "my team", then my team must be the right one or the best one. <br /><br />Great post, Robyn.Amyhttp://www.beyondsundaymornings.weebly.comnoreply@blogger.com
