Today we hearing from the
Scriptures again about sisters and making some specific applications to our
sisters at Providence Church. Some of you have a tender conscience and will
assume I am aiming my words directly at you. But if you think this, you will be mistaken.
If what I say today really does apply to you, then by all means, hear the
Spirit and seek to walk in the Spirit. But some of what I say today has to do
with wisdom, judgment calls, and are not the sorts of things we can apply cart
blanche to everybody. That was the point in thinking about the differences of
Mary and Martha. I may be able to guess if you are more like Mary or Martha but
there is at least a little bit of both of them in every one of you sisters, as
well as you brothers.
In the specific Providence Church lady activities I will
discuss today in the sermon, I want you to think about them, pray about them
and talk to your husband about them before you make any big changes. These are
wisdom issues and need to be applied differently in every home
For now, sisters and brothers, if you have known sins
against a sister, if you are harboring anger, jealousy or envy, if you spend
your time comparing yourself to others, either to keep yourself ahead or to
wear yourself down, then now is the time to let that go, confess and repent so
that you can get the log out of your own eye to see clear enough to apply
wisdom in the other areas of your life.
