I am very glad somebody suggested 1 Cor for QT. So wise. Every chapter has been speaking to me in different ways. Today's chapter 6 is basically summed up in this:
-When you have a grievance against a fellow brother/sister in Christ, share with someone who is like-minded in Christ. It doesn't do any good to gossip with someone else. Actually, do not gossip. Full Stop. Nor are we good testimonies because we are called to love one another with a love that is different. We are set apart.
-Give up the pride/ego for the sake of not stumbling another.
-Die to self - what matters is God's opinion of us, and He is pleased with us when we do what is right.
Lawsuits Against Believers
6:1 When one of you has a grievance against another, does he dare go to law before the unrighteous instead of the saints? 2 Or do you not know that the saints will judge the world? And if the world is to be judged by you, are you incompetent to try trivial cases?
3 Do you not know that we are to judge angels? How much more, then, matters pertaining to this life! 4 So if you have such cases, why do you lay them before those who have no standing in the church? 5 I say this to your shame. Can it be that there is no one among you wise enough to settle a dispute between the brothers, 6 but brother goes to law against brother, and that before unbelievers?
7 To have lawsuits at all with one another is already a defeat for you. Why not rather suffer wrong? Why not rather be defrauded? 8 But you yourselves wrong and defraud—even your own brothers!
