All Because Of Another 5

God allows people to come into our lives and leave our lives.  Some people come into your life and you are fulfilled and made better for them.  Still others come into your life and it can be a disaster.  I know there are people in my past that are better left there.  There are other people that I would love to have come back into my life.

I don’t like it when I am in the presence of people that want to verbally tear a person down.  I mean, this is so sad.  If the person doing the bashing really listened to themselves they would be embarrassed and would stop.

Everyone has an opinion.  We have various opinions of others.  We must be careful not to form an opinion too quickly.  The Apostle Paul and his friend Barnabas parted company.  Why?  All because of another.  Look at Acts 15:39, “And the contention was so sharp between them, that they departed asunder one from the other: and so Barnabas took Mark, and sailed unto Cyprus;”  These two men of God had differing opinions about John Mark and it caused them to separate.  Thankfully it was only for a time and then Paul declared that John Mark was “profitable” to him.  This division came about “All Because Of Another”.  We have to be careful who we associate with because they can bring us down and not build us up spiritually.

So, how are you doing?
