What I want you to find numbers chapter 16 Numbers chapter 16 Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, and the numbers and then go to chapter 16 and put your bobble ribbon in their and then turned to James chapter 3 all right numbers chapter 16 and then go to James chapter 3 James is the pastor of a local church, a people who are suffering significantly greatly yet I church with problems in the church with difficulties and he's doing quite a bit of practical shepherding to deal with things correct things and align things properly in the church and then we come to section here in James chapter 3, beginning in verse 13 and I go to the end of chapter, chapter 18, where I just simply call this church fights. I'm so glad that race like church is been a long long long time since we had a church fights, and I determine like I said this morning would you snuggle have a which is not open to special if you like church fights vehicle somewhere else. I will beat you up with no we just don't need to do that kind of stuff, but in mature churches and and at I'll offset this way when the churches in mature, it's easy to get a group up to have a fight over things that don't matter to God but as a church matures.

It's very difficult to get a group up matter-of-fact as a a rabble-rouser tries such a mature church. There's mature brothers and sisters who lovingly but rather firmly set them down and say look at there's an issue deal with this with the person involved and resolve this biblically. We don't do that here, we pass that along we grown out of that nonsense and I praise the Lord for that because it greatly dishonors the board and hurts the body of Christ is just a confusing thing when churches are fighting and I think very, very often what we call the church fight well, somewhat. Often what color church fight is actually a perhaps a segment of the unregenerate letter on the membership roll that can only think in terms of selfishness that only think in terms of fleshly desires and they rage against those who are least striving or try having to be scriptural and spiritual in the church, working with pastors for all these years. Of all the heart goes out to dear men and men of God who have tried to faithfully pastor and some of our churches and come up against opposition after opposition after opposition boys happening were reaping the harvest of many generations of packing our churches full of people who are unregenerate people who have not come to true saving faith in Jesus Christ. I don't mean that judgmentally I don't mean that harshly, but I mean as she watches Tom Dr. Gray Allison, one of my mentors who had been has probably been around increased and more Southern Baptist churches, and more so the better settings than anybody of the last hundred years, and Dr. Gray Allison you to say 75% of our church members and southern Baptist churches are not truly say I need say you know them by their fruit. Look at the fruit piece and I'm not talking about finding an investigator to go check out all the little secret.

They got talk about the way they live just openly and so a lot of church fights or because there's a carnal unregenerate group fighting the spiritual progress of the church and here's where a lot of pastors we try to help. Here's where they want to quit because it's so hard. As I exhorted the pastors in Brazil. I told them over and over and over as they were grasping the truth of what I was teaching, but realizing that was a big big job undertaking to begin to reform their church is the function biblically in a healthy way. I would keep telling them but don't quit, don't quit. Abraham had to keep going and keep going and keep going with Isaac up the mountain of Mariah to sacrifice his son is God told him he had to keep going a long way before he finally saw the rail pastors have to do that. Stay faithful, and God let you see the ramp God will give you the deliverance you're looking for and let you pastor a church that is more mature and that is not about those kinds of things and quite frankly, one thing I study is churches up one of the things that's very disheartening is that pastors sometimes fall into the trap of appeasing are reaching out to fleshly top folks to keep building their numbers. The problem is pretty soon you got so many different agendas because you let so many different people come in with their own agenda. How you will never keep peace among all those different vying are our contrasting viewpoints and approaches, and I've got my thingies got its thing. Okay anyway James is dealing with these things in order say words and hear James chapter 3, beginning in verse 13 he says. Who among you is wise and hundreds in understanding let him show by his good behavior. His deeds in the gentleness of wisdom. But here's the contracting group but if you have bitter jealousy and selfish ambition in your heart. Do not be arrogant.

So like it's the truth. That was it that describes you don't go around lying that your righteous and you walk in the truth that's not the truth. This the wisdom described in verse 14 verse 15 says this wisdom is not that which comes down from above, but is earthly, natural are sensual and demonic for there's jealousy and selfish ambition, there is disorder and every evil thing these this this this order.

The spot start popping up. Verse 17 but the wisdom from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, all reasonable, full of mercy and good fruits, unwavering, and without hypocrisy.

By the way, if you have people that love Jesus first, not perfectly, but there striving to walk in verse 17 pure peaceable, gentler, meek, reasonable, full of mercy and good fruits, unwavering, without hypocrisy, you don't have a fight on your hands. Those companies don't fight. They'd rather they'd rather do without. They'd rather suffer loss even when the right than hurt the church of Jesus Christ. They have the spirit of Christ about verse 18 picking up on the flow of what happens from those kind of folks lives. He says, and the seed whose fruit is righteousness is sown in peace by those who make peace church fights I, the source, the source look at verse 15 again and he says this wisdom that comes down from heaven. Rather, this wisdom, that which is that which comes down from above, but is earthly, natural, and did not demonic. So we say the what's problem was causing this disorder and problem in the church is summoned the church are grasping, holding and walking in a so-called wisdom but did not come from God. It came from the earth, its natural and then back up in verse 13 of our text. He says who among you is wise and understanding let him show by his good behavior in his deeds of the gentleness of wisdom. So when he starts this whole section he first wants to define what godly wisdom is so he might make a sharp contrast to what the world's natural wisdom is now. He says in verse 13 and he ended there's two groups remember hearings dealing with them anymore than two but at least two groups is is okay if you're among the facts of your among the group and you say where the why we have God's wisdom. We have God's understanding we know how the salt to work Asus now do you know when we talk about truly the wise and those who have true godly understanding these are folks who have practical wisdom for everyday life.

So James is going to dissect so that both groups are claiming one word of God. We know God's will for the word of God.

We knows God's will for the church. James is let's dissect this look at it. James says there is a criterion by which those who are led of God become evident.

Says one thing in verse 13 part, that criterion is there good behavior their life.

The ethics of their daily lifestyle.

The honesty of their daily lifestyle.

They're not swindlers they're not devising things all the time. They're not scheming up there straight up in their dealing their honest men and women. Their unselfish in their daily life. They're not perfect that's not what I'm saying but like I been talking about elders in the morning services.

Their pattern of their lifestyle shows there are people who are generally of good reputation and good behavior of the point being, and bull have I seen this in my lifetime, not just in my experiences here, but top it seems like every pastor around when I get in a problem because our office and says can can you tell me how to deal with this problem and when we deal with those problems sometimes will even meet with the people involved are Steve and I've disintegrated mediating a problem in a partnership church, and you begin the litany with a not so necessary in this case and look at things he found out will know what to discuss causing problems were finding out he's a rascal in his personal life. He's kinda of shady about his personal he's got underhanded and noisy functions in his home and in this business and in the neighborhood so James is if you just give it some time and you just pray not say something you need to pray.

Sometimes with things are kinda muddy say God I pray you'll expose heart's by your grace my mind be pure when they're exposed. I've had to do that many times by things get all muddy. What he saying this not expose our fears.

What I'm telling you, told you this meet you be shocked how TI AME exposes and clarifies a lot of thing the James is first of all, look for real, genuine Christian behavior as a pattern of their life, not just in the church, but in their life. And then he talks about another aspect that we should look for any says not only let them show by their good behavior, but he says there deeds in the gentleness are meekness of wisdom.

And that means that there is a sense about then that they're not a combative person doesn't mean they can't be firm and tough that they need to be for righteous causes. Jesus was and Paul was.

But overall, these are folks who are not always in a combative confronted type mood they they want to achieve peace that another compromise. The truth is not peace at all. Call but generally if there's any way they're going to be me and who doctor themselves and seek for a gentle and wise solution. The gentleness of which the what what a powerful phrase because just having wisdom is not enough.

Is there gentleness with your wisdom, he should look for that kind of spirit. Now again the word weakness here is the word that can be translated meekness. It means power under control. It means they won't with a selflessness and they won't with the humility you sense from them. They want the glory of God and the good of the church. In contrast to a phrase that used twice in this text to describe those who are not about God's will, who are up to no good. There full of selfish ambition. The Texas not the glory of God and the good of the church. Now this worldly wisdom that James refers to hear good illustration of that is how our world uses knowledge because one good definition for wisdom is the right use of knowledge the right understanding our right use of knowledge the think about our world. Think about how there's been a an explosion of understanding and knowledge in our culture.

I mean you know from from just my lifetime. The technological medical scientific asked discoveries and advancements are astounding. Yet, have we use that knowledge with wisdom. We gain these great advances in medical science and we use that great medical science science to kill unborn babies and literally mock about it, laugh about it is celebrated in the street that's not wisdom that's Barb Arianism that's evil. The softest of Germany and under Hitler Hitler's regime without those brilliant men of the culture. That's why after the war we brought them all over here were Von Braun and others. They were the top scientists, but they use their abilities to the ends of the wickedness the Barb Arianism of the Nazi system just good illustrations of how the world gains knowledge doesn't have the wisdom to use it right. At least not in any sense of justice and holiness and righteousness. The whole concept that we we were applauding ourselves today that like never before.

Our country and maybe many regions of the world are finally achieving equal rights for all people, women's rights, minority rights, and on and on we go about with much good in that within biblical teaching. There's much good in that God forbid that members of a culture just because of their racial or ethnic background or somehow demean this lesser value than than others in the culture. We would ask Christians strongly denounce a stand against any such notion yet under this notion of equal rights, we begin to celebrate in advance what the Bible calls unnatural sexual expressions and perversions and wickedness and we call those things now good and acceptable and right again.

We just don't know how to use knowledge. It's a perversion of God's truth in God's goodness to us over 100 years ago, Henry David Thoreau Thoreau said, quote, we have improved means to unimproved in its that is a great statement and it continues on we keep having improved means to decreasing the arch. I guess I should say increasingly unimproved in that's why man always is. He doesn't know how to use knowledge that's another thousands of testimonies from the culture that men are fallen in sin. Men are naturally totally depraved before righteous and holy God even when he advances in such knowledge.

He uses it wrongly so many times I think God in common grace God amid mankind does use knowledge in many good waves but the fact that he so has such a tendency to continue to miss use knowledge reminds us of Ben's sinfulness and is fallenness now back to this good characteristic of of what we should be looking for wisdom and meekness, with meekness again is the right use of power and wisdom is the right use of knowledge. Now look at verse 14 he says, but if you're not like that. If you're not truly wise, and with understanding if you don't really have the kind of behavior that talk is characteristic of one who really loves God and the church in the right way. If you're not walking in the deeds of in the gentleness of wisdom, but contrary to that your rabble-rouser your troublemaker. Verse 14 but if you have bitter jealousy and selfish ambition in your heart bitter jealousy that I was.

That's the beginning of the problem in the church here. Zeal can be good, but what were called talk about here is folks who have a zeal for self-promotion.

A seal to get even a zeal for advancement unsealed to be seen and made much of an on and on we could go that's all involved in this phrase bitter jealousy I want. I wanted that positions I wanted voted on to that committee. I wanted that role in the church and what happens when you don't get that instead of dying to your seven saying that God be glorified.

I'm here for his glory and the good of the church and I don't count I don't matter instead of having that attitude a bitterness and resentment I jealousy begins to brew in the heart and like the biblical counselors: it's an idol of unmet expectations.

If you join Grace live church you don't join this church with a concept in your hip pocket of what you're going to do what position are going to hold that becomes an idol then you're disappointed it didn't work out like that. I don't tell you what God does. It is usually in service verse, he humbled you and builds character before he places you in the service. He wants you to do.

God must find out cleaning toilets is okay with you, God. Most find that is sweeping the floor active youth of that's okay with you, God. Most find out if it is turning the locks often do all those menial tasks.

Nobody sees that night shift member.

The night shift sermon.

By the time to do the night shift sermon God needs to see that you're happy if you get to just work the night shift and nobody gives you applause or credit a position all but the person who causes trouble in the church. James is no he's not happy with that. He may act like he said he put inside his heart brewing and he's jealous while I'm as wise and godly sister stones over there cheapest the dead addenda watching what I'm as wise and godly brother so-and-so that he always got to get the hang of things this and that whatever know you might be more godly but got just trying to prove it, followed by you.

Continuing on in gentleness and meekness, and not being jealous about it. That's when you prove your godly or bitter jealousy now. The scholar say this this this idea of selfish ambition that he says is also in the heart are jealousy and along with that selfish ambition means a striving, or a rivalry. All of a sudden some sort of rising up in units is ongoing. Get what I want.

I'm going to challenge some things around there since I get little crack you watch me humble attack that I'm going undermine that little bit on the lime will get my way eventually. That's where these problems are coming from. So it leads to what we call a faction what the Bible calls rather a faction in the church are a party spirit as you begin to look for that of other folks in the church family who are also have some bitter jealousy who also are walking in some selfish ambition about the church is set up for the glory of God. And it's amazing how these folks could find a job, but in fact there are some churches that are kinda built on that kind of thing and people, kinda find their way to those kind of churches when that's what they're about. And what's interesting about the end trying to cut each other's throat down the road. So here's what James is saying Jane to sing again honest about it. Are you walking crucified with Christ.

Are you walking with a gentleness and meekness whereby you have to exert yourself you had to push yourself out there to purchase certain positions or pledges are you walking with a kind and gentle wisdom in the church or do you have bitter jealousy and a selfish ambition about what you ought to be about in the church. If you're motivated by a seal for self-promotion and self gratification and then you formed yourself a coalition to go along with you for your calls. Jane just said, saying don't be arrogant and live. You're not godly and you don't have godly wisdom. Now look at verse 15 pieces. Here's what you're walking in this wisdom you're walking you and Ian is not that which came down from above. This income from God.

God didn't give you bitterness in your heart. He didn't give you selfish ambition, what you have is from the earth. Any ungodly God denying pagan can do what you're doing would say any worldly can walk like that no child of God is not true. All of us could have some of this rows up in our in their some of this in all of us but thank God the preacher get the pulpit or I'll have my quiet time of the small group leader teach a lesson and the Holy Spirit of God is light whack a mole watch it right back down and use the Lord forgive me I'm not walking that I am not walking in that stuff. I'm not here for me.

I'm here for the glory of God the good teacher only Sicily said this is this is up from the world he singing them into pagan can live like that. He says that is natural nectar has the idea of sensual that's just what comes out of the natural man before the new birth. It's demonic.

That's the kind of stuff that demons stir up in people were 16 for where there's jealousy and selfish ambition, or worse, where there were jealousy and selfish ambition exist. There is disorder and every evil thing so the world's wisdom is not from above. It's not from the father of lights, not from the spirit of holiness, the world's wisdom is natural and sensual words. It's animal like any pagan can walk in this.

And it's demonic is birthed out of hell.

It did not come down from heaven.

Now he talks about some in verse 16.

One of the symptoms. Actually, if you're doing an outline I'm been talking about the source basically versus 13 through 15 and outnumber them as to the symptom's symptoms. He says there is disorder and every evil thing so there's jealousy and selfish ambition that leads to a party spirit are disorder are unruly nests in the scholar say this. I did get disorder here means tumultuous anarchy, tumultuous anarchy little groups get together and begin to decide we don't like how this is going. We don't like how this being done.

Table were going to wiggle, get to what we need to come maneuver and get our God power to get this thing straightened out in the church.

Thank God we don't do with the cost of so many good pastors have heart aches and sleepless nights with men whom that's the way their functioning. They got up they got a foothold in the church and they put on a show of spirituality and either either sincere Christians who are gullible are following them are of the lost people. Or rotten party with them.

So that's the best thing that happens a party spirit, a disorder comes brewing within the church. It's the same thing that we see from Colorado and Dayton and about Roman Ely have been on and the police as they get 250 million. The Bible says, men of renown in the congregation of Israel who rose up against Moses and up against Iran.

So these guys they really did their homework, they really did well in stirring up a large contingent of very impressive leading men in the nation of Israel to rise up and challenge Moses because they didn't like the way Moses was doing at that and think Moses was the only one who could hear from God. They think Moses was the only one who had the authority to tell them what to do when the rise when the going when the cup it would work it out the way they thought it was going work out when they left so they did this disorder of rising up against Moses.

The text says here in verse 16. It's it's every evil thing every E disorder and every evil thing.

The image worthless things, only worthless stuff can come out of that kind of movement, and the little a commentary Jamison Fossett Brown that's on all of your old Bible program, something Jamison Fossett Brown about as good as it did for a little brief commentary. They had this statement and then going back up to the roots of the whole thing. The jealousy and selfish ambition.

It's is this man stands in the light of his own candle which cannot shine in the presence of another man's sunlight, so he begins to form groups of like jealous types and he begins to strike back against the men who are in leadership but actually these men are fighting God who made me in front and gave different men different gifts and differing men different present different positions in the church so it's God they end up attacking not the men are jealous of battle not only I'm looking I don't see a troublemaker out there. If I did I just call your name right now I don't see a couple cola in the whole bunch. But here's what you better be careful as long preacher share this broadcast some preacher seared over in Scotland some weird in Brazil.

I know because they tell me me tell you something if you rise up against the man God's called pastor that church and then he goes to God about it, you're in trouble.

You better hope he fights back in the flesh before he thinks about it but he just says, okay, let me go to God about this. Mrs. God make clear who supposed to be the leader possess what Moses did when: his 250 miniver now rose up to take this thing on those said okay I'm going to get on my face before God. At that moment colorless than for now, here's the interesting thing Cora and about Roman basin almost guys probably could find some pretty legitimate arguments against Moses that he wouldn't perfectly failed and Bible tells us that the P1 rent awareness alone time because of unbelievably knows a lot of things that were not perfect, but mostly here's the here's the final thing and Moses makes us very clear in the text look at what Moses says in effect hiding the sadness I was on the backside of the median desert keeping my father lost sheep mind my own business. God appeared to him in a burning bush and should you delete my people out of Egypt I said Lord I don't want that job got that I did and I deny what I didn't call you in for an interview.

I'm giving you an assignment and so Moses goes goddess of God to you. Your core in the 250 miniver now. I mean all the big shots are gets me all the power players in Israel or against mammogram survive God you started this God said get out of the way. I'll take care of it meant feckless look at that right quick look look over a ton. Did you get did you put your Bible ribbon over there in numbers chapter 16 Numbers chapter 16 and look at verse one. Here we have a church fight. The did in real well for one group numbers chapter 16 verse one the core. The sun is the heart of the center Co. hath the son of Levi. Notice that he's a priestly lineage with Nathan and about in the sun. The Ely album and all Sunapee list sons of Ruben took action. They took action will get this straightened out and they rose up before Moses, together with some of the sons of Israel 250 leaders of the congregation chosen in the assembly. Miniver now on their symbol together against Moses and Aaron and said to them, you gone far enough for all the congregation holy. Are we all say just like you are Moses, everyone of them in the Lords in their midst to so why do you exalt yourselves about the assembly of the Lord will Moses when exalting himself. He was meekly doing what God told him to do that was its humility when you leave God told you to be a leader. Verse four. Moses heard this, here's the problem he fell on his face you're in trouble right there. You are a joke.

Moses does not fight back in his strength he goes to God to guide you and fixes but verse five and he spoke to Cora and all his company saying tomorrow morning the Lord will show to us is and who is holy and will bring him near to himself. Even the one whom he will choose he will bring near to himself. The flip fold of verse 19 same time this goes conclusion of the matter. This Cora assembled all the congregation against them at the door with the tent of meeting. They had by far and away the majority vote.

They had the whole congregation.

He followed all these men of renown who followed Cora and the glory of the Lord appeared to all the car geisha verse 20 and the Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron, saying separate yourselves from among this congregation that I may consume them instantly. Verse 22 but they fell on their face and settle God, God of the spirits of all flesh. When one man since we you be angry with the entire congregation. Here's Moses in a ring pleading for mercy. I don't kill all of them.

Verse 24 speak to the congregation saying get back from around the dwellings of Cora Dayton in the bottom and Moses arose and went to basin in a bar with the elders of Israel following them and he spoke to the congregation, saying, depart now from the tents of these wicked men, and touch. Nothing that belongs to them, or you will be swept away in all their sin so they got back from around the dwellings of Cora Dayton and about him and Dayton in the barn came out instead of the door there tents along with their wives and their sons and the little ones and Moses said by this you should know that the Lord God has sent me to do all these deeds notices for this is not my doing, I didn't run for this office. I didn't party for this or canvas for this and get voted in God appointed me as your pastor and leader.

Basically Moses essay verse 29.

Now if these men that's Cora and his group. If these men die the death of all men. If they suffer the fate of all men in the Lord is not sent me with the Lord brings about an entirely new thing in the ground opens its mouth and swallows them up with all that is theirs and they descend alive in the shield then you will understand that these men have spurned the Lord. And as he finished speaking, all these words the ground that was under them split open and the earth opened its mouth and swallowed them up and their households and all the men who belong to Cora with their possessions so they and all that belonged to them went down alive to Sheol and the earth closed over them, and they perished from the midst of the assembly, Moses said not God's made clear his wheel was Moses, holy are not necessarily Moses have less sin.

Not necessarily Moses said, God put me here that's what you should honor Cora the bottom, Nathan, and on and the other miniver renown had bitter jealousy. Moses was the leader and bitter and rather selfish ambition that led to the disorder of all kind's to solve party spirit rising up of the sect against leadership and invite the bodices in our go back to James about Susan James was the fruit of all that every worthless thing. Nothing good comes out of it. Nothing good is going to happen if your ever in this church. If your fellow shipping with someone from another church in you. Since this spirit, you need to get away from that kind of person notice. Everyone who hung with Cora suffered the same outcome. The companion of fools. The Bible says suffers harm run around with those who act a fool about the things of God. This non-plaything is not the ball team is not the social club is the church of the living God. So I know some people who kinda did something, say like they're doing okay. You keep watching you keep watching you call me I can't say anything but this.

Call me in your 30 9C helps this down the road as I've been doing this for 31 years watching. Call me down the road and tell me how it ends up. Here's what I will say praise God that, though, there can be some cholera in all of us the spirit of God helps us repeat it back down out of the way. Amen there are some cholera in all of us, but it'll have to control who we are. We can repent and not walk in that spirit, so those are the symptoms. Now the solution what we need is this kind. The spirit to not have church fights and divisions in this order starting verse 17 this is what we need.

We need the wisdom from above up.

He set up talk to about the wisdom that comes from these from the earth that that the these men with bitter jealousy and selfish ambition walking in is really not wisdom. It's a misnomer, not wisdom at all hears true wisdom from above is first pure, and when he says, first, you don't mean numerically humane. Above all, there's a purity in there. There's only one way, there can be an abiding purity in the heart and that's at the heart has been cleansed by the blood of the Lamb.

The people who can walk in long patterns with impure motives and selfish ambition have not been cleansed by the blood of the Lamb is first not numerically but in being essential, it means haggis Woodhead Gassett means holy. It means that as a pattern of life, though not perfect, but is a pattern of life.

There's this pure ambition in their call heart and brothers and sisters always remember this way, the motive in the ambition. My heart must be the glory of God the good of this church… To myself knowing I found in 39 years of striving, had always done it right, but repeating in striving to walk that way. Glory of God the good of the church instructed not to me is I get all the stuff I thought I wanted before I died to it. Once he knows you don't have to have it, he tents let you have it. Did you hear that once God knows you don't have to have it, he tends to let you tour means the hardest to glorify God work for the good of the church. I would die to myself church who has people who generally walk in that way are the people who have as an outgrowth a free suite and a blessed peace in the congregation that were not. Again, were not about peace at all cost. Jesus, for example, spurned the devil's piece of surrender.

He just said Jesus to render to me will just fix all the same. Be no more progress just go in this worship me and I can fix everything he said no what you not more, no peace between us and with no peace between Jesus and the Pharisees, the false hypocrites of the day is not a peace at any cost. But he said about the piece of the sweetness of a congregation walking in purity.

Pure motives from the heart. Then he says peaceable. That means you are type of person who, above all love this piece, so you're willing to deny myself and go to the further risk possible links within purity to keep the peace.

As the bodices as far as it is possible as far as it is possible, be at peace with all men, then uses the word gentle here means a sweet reasonableness then uses the word reasonable. Here, that means your approachability that a harsh doing the exterior uses the phrase full of mercy, one who's looking for ways to be kind and be helpful to their brothers and sisters in Christ. Good fruits, that's the overflow of the previous traits being practiced unwavering.

It means you pretty much count on this person more praise God for for churchmen and church women who are unwavering.

I like to wonder where the goal land next week watch kinescope and there'll be here that watch another guy drove there three another book the chase another fad. Another just they're just solid and other things that are essential in there without variant, unwavering, and without hypocrisy, which is means a genuineness or a sincerity and then the fruit of all of that verse 18 and the seed whose fruit is righteousness is sown in peace by those who make peace. It means there is a general there's general spirit about these kind of people, but they walk peace, peaceably reproving and restoring those who are in sin, they avoid having to be harsh having an edge if at all possible. They want to function with a peaceable and meek spirit. Why, because in meekness and being peaceable. They want to be faithful physicians to those who are in sin to save and restore them there physicians for sinners and not executioners of sinners that year that when we see and then we know about it in the coronation of God.

We ought to come to one another in meekness and peaceably seeking to be physicians who restore and heal, not executioners.

The slammer will punish God's wisdom. Sometimes it's the server that's never our first course of action. We will be forced to that position and then what happens is as time goes by and a congregation is walking in that peaceable meekness one to another, restoring the one who's wavering restoring the one who's wondering, lovingly bringing them back to sweet repentance and walking with God, the fruit of that is amazing and that's what he's talking about Jesus and the seed whose fruit is right.
