It's a cliche , that our church is busy , busy participate seminar2 and we become ill never interacted with a large family / general public which in fact is not done to know the Lord . We adl light of the world , when assembled with bright light , the light that cut no avail. But when the light was dark place , then light it would have great benefits that sgt .
Often and without our conscious ( who claim to be Christian , servant Lord ) sdh be ahli2 sdh Pharisees who consider themselves true , living holy , holy , felt that Christians outside the org org adl innocent and should be shunned . Often we use the word of the Lord " bad association that damage the good habit . " To restrict us Berhub with them . Though we should not shy away from them even should we embrace them while maintaining the hub so that we're not affected with their bad habits .
So it's no wonder , out there many people it feels antipathy with the presence of Christian org . Because all of our lives -an exclusive , indisposed org hang out with Christian and just want to hang out with other Christian org . We will no longer be a blessing instead we become a curse for another org . You will recall the story of the lost son . You certainly know the way this child bgm story until he repented and returned home his Father . But often we forget the story of the elder son , seorg faithful son lived with his father but he never felt the beauty hub father and son .
Luke 15:25-32 , which tells the actions performed by the elder son :1 . He adl children who diligently worked proven herding cattle with his father's wish2 . When I heard there was a party at his house , the eldest summoned his slaves and asked kpdnya3 . When he heard that his brother had returned and ayahya celebrate , he immediately angry4 . He sulked , like ill go home and feel kedlm treated unfair by his father5 . Filled with wisdom , his father asked him why the eldest not want your incoming and explain .6 . The eldest of his father being so ill received , he felt more meritorious because it has to comply with all that is said of his father . And feel his brother inexpedient to get the honor , which he should have honored it .7 . His father seorg adl -full of love, even her embrace with love all anak2nya .
When the case is opened the HOLY SPIRIT KPD me , I was surprised and felt slapped . Why ? Because I have unwittingly become the eldest son , who feels spiritually sdh , sdh feel holy life , consider yourself as important org church and my Lord sdh deceive ourselves with clicking - eksklusifkan just blend in with the Christian org .
When meeting with Christians outside org / new -come didlm Lord , my cherished sdh judge them and look down on them . How bad I am . Error firstborn , namely :
1 . KPD feel myself deserving of his father .
Are not we too often such as this , active dipelayanan , dipersekutuan , visit and feel we deserve to get paid for our efforts . Here the Holy Spirit wanted to purify our motives , truthfulness apk purpose we serve the Lord . Not for a bundle of money / our name famous , but that the Lord is coming , we serve God out of love our Lord KPD . Let only the name of the Lord who is glorified .
2 . Looking for information on the wrong guy .
Often we hear more gossip than actual reality and even believe it . Is not bickering and disunity amid congregations and churches , many occur because of misinformation . Seseorg who experienced the disappointment would spread misinformation and it will leaven many org . So , klarifikasilah tsb on the horse's problems .
3 . Not cross check the information again .
A proverb says rumors that more beautiful than real news and strangely many people it is more like they will even accept mentah2 news . When the elder heard the news of his servant that his brother had returned and his father cut the fatted calf , once his emotions rise and marah2 kedlm want to go home ill . One of my weaknesses in matters of self-control , he heard a rumor that the truth definitely not done come LGS comment / LGS involved didlmnya . And it 's a bad impact for my psychology and also within the hub of friendship . Thankful for the Holy Spirit who educate & teach me to be able to stop myself , think calmly and cross check again with distinguished speakers and right .
4 . Does not have a hub that intimate with her father .
A healthy- hub marked with the communication between the two parties , the verifiable masing2 express what it was his desire , longing , hope , dream , and it was in sharekan together . When the agreement was established , masing2 parties know what the purpose of the hub . Sgt communication is important to maintain the integrity of a hub , communication pintu2 yg dpt open jam and break the ice a hub . I was so busy doing the work of his father , the eldest son waktu2 forget to communicate with his father . So it's no wonder , the eldest not know what a father longing , hope the father , what was the cherished father . So that when his father welcomed the prodigal son . The eldest being disappointed .
5 . Live in routines .
Adl routine life to live in that boring sgt . How could ill , ranging from waking to sleep continues to do the same job and it was done continuously during bertahun2 berpuluh2 even years . That means you live within the routine , when God created you to enjoy life with the Lord 1001 that the activities available to you . Ok lah , you start the service as ushers / kolektan , then evolved into a spiritual director , a musician growing again , growing again became chairman of the fellowship , growing .... and growing constantly maximizing the potential of every imaginable self within you . I am sure , life would you not bored anymore .
6 . Do not want to forgive .
Well he is a deadly disease that undermined from within life anak2 Lord . Without realizing it , this sin makes our hearts become blind eye to org2 who need Christ . Makes us selfish org2 who are only concerned with their own personal safety and the safety hoot another org . As the eldest son , he would feel the sufferings experienced by his father . How could ill , while his father was still alive , his brother dared ask for legacy SDH & menghambur2kannya with prostitutes . That's the same with his father wished speedy death . As a brother, he would hurt her father treated that way .
Friendly and hostile attitude shown ill when she heard her younger sister back home to his house . Are not we too so, we feel that org2 who have hurt us / org2 nearby , inexpedient mendpt forgiveness . Even more so when we heard that the guy who has hurt us was unfortunate , small hearts we shall sing for joy and said, " ... it was the result SYUKURIN that annoy me , I'm the Son of God , the Lord has defended me . The proof you destroyed skrg . "Wow ... such as the evil once thought . I admit in front of you , I 've done it and it sgt extremely displeased the Lord . This leaves me with the person get the same sinful . Lord 's vengeance is entirely true , but we're not allowed ikut2an swearing and acting to be " god " upon the org . As a result , we will experience the same punishment from God . Sick is not it?
7 . Like to compare ourselves .
Org2 -me old congregational church sector in the long-serving first -me syndrome is often affected . Mendptkan feel that they deserve respect for their services , should be considered , as the waiter mendptkan special facilities Lord , feel more spiritual , and by the time the new org emerge with charisma with which the new system . Begin arise suspicion and began membanding2kan with embedded systems -me old church page. Consequences will arise envy , jealousy and discord .
Membanding2kan guy who likes something , because she did not want to actually piqued his being comfortable and happy to be dizona . The eldest was , where he was disturbed with the presence of the youngest back . During this time , he thinks he's just satu2nya heirs and has full authority . But with the return of the youngest , who held absolute power to break the eldest . As a result , she did not accept and take a hostile attitude . Heard the eldest not want your entrance , his father immediately came and expressed all his heart . Establishment of this communication hub that makes them be recovered . Attitude captured the eldest , namely :A. Humility would realize his mistakeB. Make peace with yourself that he was her father & son adl sama2 also loved.C. Position / morbidly birth order effect on a hub , which affects adl bgm we build communications hub through which they will be healthy and true .D. Recognizing that every person worthy mendpt same treatment and acceptance regardless of his past . Because all so precious in the eyes of GOD .E. When seseorg sin that corrupted adl relationshipnya but the bond broken and ill status .F. Repair hub intimate with his father ( back KPD love mula2 ) .
The title above is not intended for the new guy who repent , but to us who incidentally sdh serve the Lord . God calls us to go back mula2 & KPD love with motivational true in serving the Lord . Let us introspreksi ourselves , we too stuck jangan2 position within Si - born . May the Holy Spirit who sanctifies and purifies us , Amen .
Bless the LORD JESUS
