Christ-followers ought not be known as petty and letigious.
Once again, the witness of professing Christ-followers matters greatly.
God expects his followers to represent his character to the unbelieving world.
People are capable of all sorts of wicked behavior and God is willing to redeem any repentant heart regardless of their pasts.
For Christ’s sake, don’t be petty. Reveling in being “right” can be wrong when your actions and attitude misrepresents God.
God’s reputation is projected to the world by those who claim to be his God’s people. This is a double edged sword.
Lord, may your name and reputation be more important to me than my rights.
