Faith Venture

We must love arguing over doctrinal differences. For we do it enough. Doctrines are a dime a dozen. Almost anyone can dive into their Scriptures, find some fitting sentences, and build a doctrine. Then, they can argue about it.

What would Jesus say about that?

Perhaps to get off your “I’m holier than you” platform and go out and serve others.

The Gospel of Mark (chapter 10) records how two of the most intimate friends of Jesus asked for special privileges in the Kingdom. Then the other 10 heard about it (it’s hard to keep secrets in a small group). They all began arguing with Jesus.

He stopped them. “Whoever wants to be great in the Kingdom,” he said, “must be the servant of others. For even the Son of Man came to serve others and to die for them.”

Maybe we should take a hint.
