Is It Your Right ?
So many times in our society we hear the words ' It's my right" .... Really !!!! As a Christian we have to stop and not get caught up in the world's thought.
I was reading somewhere that a man fell out of a canoe and lost his temper . The problem was he was near vacationing families , when he was shouting his obsenities . Some of the families sued him . In court he said " I have my rights"
What are my rights you say ? Well God calls us to rise about our rights and ask ourselves " What is loving ?"
Paul in 1 Cor 13:5 .... It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs.
He put rudeness on the list defining what love is not " rude" . Rudeness in the Greek means shameful or disgraceful behaviour .
Example : Do you have the right to dominate a conversation ?
Yes , but , is it loving to do so ?
Is it your right to shout at the cashier if you deem something is wrong with your bill or snap at your kids ?
Yes , but is it loving to act this way ?
Love in not rude . Love is the greatest gift.
