1 Corinthians 6:4 If then ye have judgments of things pertaining to this life, set them to judge who are least esteemed in the church. 5 I speak to your shame. Is it so, that there is not a wise man among you? no, not one that shall be able to judge between his brethren? 6 But brother goeth to law with brother, and that before the unbelievers.
Paul starts here asking are we going to go to those that void of God’s truth and spirit to settled a dispute or go to someone that does know the Word of God and are obedient to the Spirit. He continues in the next verse to say how silly it is to use an ungodly person to solve a problem. He is saying Christians should be able to sit down and talk things out even if you have to include others. Pray together and let God decide the outcome. Finally Paul is saying for one Christian to take another Christian gives Christianity a black eye. Christians who take fellow Christians to court, suffer moral defeat and spiritual loss even before the case is heard and they become subject to divine chastening. We should try to always solve problems between church members in the church and not in court of law where God’s guidance is not used. Hope you attend a church today where you can praise and worship God for what He does for you every day.
