FROM TODAY’S READING (7/30/2020)...
“An emphasis on rights without the counter-emphasis on responsibilities leaves us with precious little basis for genuine community, as we...are learning to our great regret.”
David T. Koysis
Philippians 2:3-5 (NLT) Don’t be selfish; don’t try to impress others. Be humble, thinking of others as better than yourselves. Don’t look out only for your own interests, but take an interest in others, too. You must have the same attitude that Christ Jesus had.
James 4:1-2 (NLT) What is causing the quarrels and fights among you? Don’t they come from the evil desires at war within you? You want what you don’t have, so you scheme and kill to get it. You are jealous of what others have, but you can’t get it, so you fight and wage war to take it away from them. Yet you don’t have what you want because you don’t ask God for it.
