Judging

Lady of Light

1 Corinthians 5:1-4 states:

"Dare any of you, having a matter against another go to law before the unusual and not before the saints? Do ye not know that the saints shall judge the world and if the world shall be judged you you, are ye unworthy to judge the smallest matters? Know ye not that we shall judge angels? how much more things that pertain to this life. If then ye have judgments of things pertaining to this life, set them to judge who are least esteemed in the church."

It is important as Paul says to seek peace and pursue it by handling matters within the church rather than going outside to the law whenever possible.

Some people go running to the law when things can be resolved with prayer and communication among the members of the church. It is best not to resort to that, especially concerning believers.

This is sound advice given to the church at Corinth which still applies today.

God bless you and have a great day!

Lady of Light
