We all do it
Good Morning! James 2:9 But if you show favoritism,you sin and are convicted by the law as a lawbreaker. Now today I'm going to hit on something we all do, and I am one who is bad at it. But just because We all do it! Doesn't make it right. Do you have certain people you like to hang out with? Then there are other people you associate with only because you have to? Maybe because your job dictates that you must or your business is that, that you deal with the public on a daily basis. Are there people in your life that you just treat better than others? This is called Favoritism and in this Vs, it is telling us it is a sin. And if you are sitting there telling yourself, Well I don't do that! Or I'm not that bad! Then you are lying to yourself and the truth is not in you. Because we all show favoritism, even in the Churches we go to and the Religions we practice. If we didn't we would all meet for one big service in the town square every Sunday. Favoritism is one of the Biggest and probable most committed sin we do on a daily basis. In Vs 8 it says, If you really keep the royal law found in Scripture, Love your neighbor as yourself, you are doing right. So how many of us is doing right? I mean if you take a look (and I'm not saying all deeds are done this wax) But if you look at a lot of the deeds we do, they are out of favoritism, not love the way they are meant to be. Favoritism! It is a very Big part of my sinful life. How about you? Now I am not saying we have to hang out with everyone we meet or invite a thief to dinner. But can we just treat everyone the way we would like to be treated. For me today, I'm going to try! And I know I will fail, but I'm going to try! And when I try I will at least be trying to do God's will in Jesus Christ! And in Him there is no failure. So today let us all try and show No Favoritism and HABD!
