The Gospel

Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the GOSPEL which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:

[Paul, writing to Christians @ Corinth, 1 Cor. 15:1-4]

James 2:1


Title:  Partiality

When we expect or demand recognition and the best seat in an assembly, are we not distinguishing ourselves as a class above the rest?

Although at the receiving end of the distinction and the attention, we still stand guilty of favoritism because we have encouraged and allowed it to be bestowed on us.

What separates us from other believers?  Nothing!  We know almost nothing about God; even the corporate understanding of the church about God is of no consequence compared to what has not been revealed by his mercy.

Only God has the right to recognition and the best seat in our midst.
