SPIRIT OF RELIGION- (Pt.6)

Luke5:30- "But their scribes and Pharisees murmured against his disciples, saying, why do ye eat and drink with publicans and sinners?"

DON'T LOOK DOWN ON OTHERS

When you look down on others, it is simply religious spirit at work. It avoids associating with certain types of people. I once about some people from a particular denomination that won't share bathroom with co-tenants because probably they feel they are sinners.

When I was in school as an undergraduate&even during my post graduate days, I know of some fellowships that do not join others in joint christian meetings. They may excuse it by saying it is a directive from their head church but I know it all stems from a religious spirit.

During my NYSC days, God gave us an interdenominational platform called NCCF for every believer to fellowship, yet I saw signs of denominational desperation in people just to get their own members away. There can't be true revival until we unite, doctrine divides, Jesus unites.

We call it the body of Christ not the fragment of Christ

Action point

Beware of whatever makes you feel your other blood-washed brother/sister is not good enough for God.
