We who are strong ought to bear with the failings of the weak and not to please ourselves. — Romans 15:1
Dear friend of Jesus, have patience with those around you who are not yet what God intends for them to be — remembering that we are not yet what God intends for us to be. In the process of "bearing with" their failings, you may just find that others are more patient with your failings and more thankful for your faithfulness.
Of course, the goal of our being patient isn't to benefit ourselves. Instead, we do it to bless others, knowing that many of our brothers and sisters in Christ are hanging on to their faith, hope, and love by the thinnest of threads. Let's never let them go and never cause them to stumble!
God’s Word for God’s People
Zechariah 9:17
For how great is its goodness
And how great its beauty!
Grain shall make the young men thrive,
And new wine the young women.
Faith
In God:
Mark 11:22
Have faith in God,” Jesus answered.
Hebrew 11:6And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him.
Reject heretics
Titus 3:10
Warn a divisive person once, and then warn them a second time. After that, have nothing to do with them.
Refuse to support young widows from church funds
1 Timothy 5:11
As for younger widows, do not put them on such a list. For when their sensual desires overcome their dedication to Christ, they want to marry
