COMTEMPTIBLE SPIRIT IN THE CHURCH...

IF YOU HAVE FAVORITES YOU HAVE A CONTEMPTIBLE SPIRIT .
MALACHI 2;9

THEREFORE I HAVE MADE YOU CONTEMPTIBLE IN THE EYES OF ALL THE PEOPLE; FOR YOU HAVE HAVE NOT OBEYED ME, BUT YOU LET YOUR FAVORITES BREAK THE LAW WITHOUT REBUKE !

THE PRIESTS HAD ALLOWED INFLUENTIAL AND FAVORED PEOPLE TO BREAK THE LAW, THEY WERE SO DEPENDENT ON THESE PEOPLE FOR SUPPORT THAT THEY COULD NOT AFFORD TO CONFRONT THEM WHEN THEY DID WRONG, IN YOUR CHURCH ARE THERE CERTAIN PEOPLE ALLOWED TO DO WRONG WITHOUT CRITICISM BECAUSE THEY ARE BIG TITHES AND OFFERING PAYERS ? THERE SHOULD BE NO DOUBLE STANDARD BASED ON WEALTH OR RICHES OR POSITION IN THE CITY, LET YOUR STANDARDS BE THOSE PRESENTED IN GOD'S WORD. PASTORS DON'T PLAY FAVORITES AND BECOME CONTEMPTIBLE IN GOD'S SIGHT.

JAMES 2;1 DEAR BROTHERS HOW CAN YOU CLAIM THAT YOU BELONG TO THE LORD JESUS CHRIST, THE LORD OF GLORY, IF YOU SHOW FAVORITISM TO RICH PEOPLE AND LOOK DOWN ON THE POOR ?
IF A MAN SHOW FAVORITISM HE DOES NOT BELONG TO THE LORD CHRIST JESUS AND THERE IS NO GLORY ON HIS LIFE...
WHY IS IT WRONG TO JUDGE A PERSON BY HIS ECONOMIC STATUS ? WE SOMETIMES DO THIS BECAUSE.
1) POVERTY MAKES US UNCOMFORTABLE.
2) WE TOO WANT TO BE WEALTHY AND WE HOPE TO USE THE RICH PERSON AS MEANS TO THAT END.
3) WE WANT THE RICH PERSON TO JOIN OUR CHURCH AND HELP SUPPORT IT FINANCIALLY, ALL THESE MOTIVES ARE SELFISH- AND NONE OF TEM SEES THE RICH MAN OR POOR MAN AS A HUMAN BEING IN NEED OF FELLOWSHIP WITH JESUS CHRIST. IF WE SAY CHRIST IS LORD OF OUR LIVES THEN WE MUST LIVE AS HE LIVED SHOWING NO FAVORITISM AND LOVING ALL PEOPLE REGARDLESS OF THEIR CIRCUMSTANCES.

A CONTEMPTIBLE MAN IS ONE THAT IS MEAN, LOW, MISERABLE, WRETCHED, SELFISH, UNWORTHY, DISOBEDIENT, DETESTABLE AND REVOLTING IN THE SIGHT OF GOD.
LET THIS NOT BE US FOR THIS IS NOT THE WILL OF GOD...

MUCH LOVE.
