Wednesday, May 8, 2019 at 9:13AM The Same Mindset
Today is May 8, 2019
Welcome to your mid-week!
When Euodia and Syntyche were in conflict with one another, Apostle Paul recommended that they get outside help.
This was not recommended to shame them or belittle them. In fact, Apostle Paul makes it clear that these women were his co-workers, whose names were in the book of life.
But, with them unable to reach reconciliation, Paul recommended that they get outside help. That it was okay to get help.
And then, indirectly, he tells them - as they wait for resolution and reconciliation - not to even think about lying or being dishonorable or dis-respectful or wronging or sinning or hating or blaming or focusing on the faults or discouraging one another in any way.
No, Apostle Paul pleads with them, from a place of love and humility and sincerity, to be of the same mind. They may disagree on this one issue but they are still part of God's family.
And that is the point.
As we wrestle with conflicts let us not be afraid to ask for help when needed and to always come at it striving to have the same mind as Christ.
God's blessing upon you this week and I look forward to seeing you all this Sunday.
