Last Sunday my husband preached an
amazing sermon. It dealt with the idea of Christians building a good exterior while
neglecting the interior. I’ve seen many Christians try to build a great exterior
wall by comparing others. Be careful not to fall into the comparison trap. I’ve
seen people compare themselves to others in things like looks, finances and
education. Even recently I witnessed a fairly new Christian ranking the lady
soul-winners from what she thought was the “best soul-winner” to the “worse soul-winner.”
As soul conscious Christians we should remember that we are not in competition with
each other. We are all on the same team with the same goal in mind. When we
compare, we are causing division within the church and discouraging, if not
ourselves, others. We all have different talents and abilities to contribute to
church. Below is the sermon, hope it’s a blessing to you.
