SETTLING MATTERS

GOD'S JUDICIAL SYSTEM

The world is filled with violence that started with a small disagreement because a squabble was escalated and not diffused or settled. 

Unfortunately, it's not isolated to the world but even among believers.

Matters should be settled among yourselves because soon the saints will be judging the world - Practice makes perfect!
1 Corinthians 6 King James Version (KJV)
Dare any of you, having a matter against another, go to law before the unjust, and not before the saints?
Do ye not know that the saints shall judge the world? and if the world shall be judged by 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.
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?

TODAY'S TOPIC:  SETTLE IT GOD'S WAY

Too many mole hills are allowed to become mountains 

What's your thoughts on the above scripture are ye unworthy to judge the smallest matters?  Let's discuss:

• What are some of the causes of quarrels and fights?
• How do you feel about settling matters within the church?
• How should these matters be settled?
•  By Whom
• Who should be involved
• When (timing)
• Should there be any punishment applied?
• List any scriptural principles, references or examples
• Should matters be taken to the judicial system outside of the church?
• What do you recommend to the church as a guide to settle matters pertaining to life?

Remember, "Practice makes perfect."  Practice forgiveness, walking in love, esteeming others, doing unto others what you would like done to you and use wisdom.  If you settle things among yourselves as brethren the "world" would not have to judge you. Use the right measures in your judgement.

Matthew 7:2 (KJV)

For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again.

God Bless you and Keep The Faith!
