It deeply saddens me to see Christians or Churches be jealous or competitive toward other Christians or Churches, but according to the Apostle Paul, it is nothing new, as he experienced this issue while he was stuck in a Roman prison for sharing the Gospel. So, how do we deal with the terrible attitude of Christians who have selfish motives and bad heart postures? According to Paul, we still rejoice because Christ's name is being proclaimed! Isn't that tough!? It sure is for me. I hope that you will be blessed as we dive into Philippians 4:15-18:
"15 It is true that some preach Christ out of envy and rivalry, but others out of goodwill. 16 The latter do so out of love, knowing that I am put here for the defense of the Gospel. 17 The former preach Christ out of selfish ambition, not sincerely, supposing that they can stir up trouble for me while I am in chains. 18 But what does it matter? The important thing is that in every way, whether from false motives or true, Christ is preached. And because of this I rejoice. Yes, and I will continue to rejoice,"
