       We aren’t at church to actually push our own particular convictions onto others within the body. Instead, we are to live in unity as much as possible. This will require some of us to swallow our pride. There are going to be times, there are going to be moments, where you want to confront something, to want to call someone out, to call the person on the carpet for something, but you are going to have to bite your tongue and let whatever it is go. I’ve personally had to do this so many times. And it’s because if the matter is trivial, if it’s open to interpretation, then we really cannot force our viewpoint. At the end of the day, it’s all about Jesus. It’s about becoming more like Jesus. The purpose, the goal of our lives, is to live in Christ—to live in God’s approval. Paul has told us this elsewhere. What else did he say in that verse? To die is what? To die is gain since we get to go to Heaven to be with him, where, in Heaven, there will only be one way of doing things, and that’s the way that will make us most happy, the way the God of the Universe has setup in perfection.
